Come to Grindelwald!
The Japanese way of life - Swiss style.

My work is focused on making videos and podcasts about science and technology topics. I specialize in developing explainatory video formats for mobile viewing, mixing animation and documentary styles. I studied filmmaking and animation at Zurich University of the Arts and began working as a video journalist at SWI swissinfo.ch in 2004. Since then I have specialised in creating different styles of animation for our visual products.
On arriving in the alpine resort of Grindelwald, you can’t help noticing all the signs in Japanese. The most prominent of these is for the Japanese Information Bureau, which was set up by Ichiro Ando and his wife Yasuyo, who came to Switzerland over 20 years ago. (Michele Andina, swissinfo.ch 2005)
