Passionate and purpose-driven Apparel Designer with a BSc and Brand Ambassador with over 15 years of experience in the industry. Specializing in conceptualizing, creating, and promoting sustainable outdoor and lifestyle gear.
As a true outdoor enthusiast, I find inspiration in the great outdoors and my love for boardsports, culture, art, and the thrill of travel.
Throughout my career, I had the chance to teach the sports
I love most, working and selling goods for two of Switzerland's greatest minds, the Freitag brothers, as well as conceptualizing and creating nearly ten years of iXS' MTB textile collection.
This journey resulted in multiple awards for gamechanging items and our transition to a sustainable brand segment in a performance-driven industry.
