Printer friendly CV

Born and raised in Switzerland, I moved to London in November 2015 with the aim of working in the Film industry. Starting out as runner working on unscripted TV shows and Music Promos, I then started working on Commercials and Features. By then, I had decided that I wanted to be an AD and have been working with that goal in mind ever since.
I have worked on all kind of sets and all kinds of budgets and am keen to keep on learning, gaining new experience and meeting new people.
