Storytelling with a purpose.
About
My Work
A passionate communicator, I combine writing with multimedia skills to create compelling and engaging content. In words and images alike, I craft authentic stories that resonate with diverse audiences. Whether developing creative ideas or leading complex projects, my aim is to inspire and spark conversations that matter.
From a young age, my curiosity drove me to explore the world beyond the Swiss mountains where I grew up. I earned a BA in International Studies with the Open University while travelling and working in different countries, before going on to a Master's in International Journalism at Cardiff University, specialising in documentary. Today, I work as a writer, communicator, multimedia content creator and documentary filmmaker.
What I do
One voice, many formats.
Web and print writing
Words that land.
Websites, brochures, newsletters or magazines: I write clear copy tailored to your tone, your audience and your medium.
Editorial content
Ideas that matter.
Articles, profiles and reports: I create in-depth content that informs, challenges and makes people want to read on.
Editing and rewriting
A fresh eye on your text.
I correct, clarify and restructure your texts to make them flow better and hit harder, while staying true to your voice.
Translation
True to the original.
From French into English and English into French, I translate your content while preserving its meaning, tone and cultural nuances.
Social media
Scroll-stopping posts.
Post writing, content ideas and short videos: I create posts designed for each platform and for your community.
And more…
Photography, video, public speaking, interviews, project management, writing coaching...
