About Me
I studied media to tell stories. And social work to truly understand people and systems. Today, I combine both.
I'm not just interested in well-told stories. I believe that real connections develop when we dare to show vulnerability. Then we realize we are not alone in our experience - and the people we are truly here for can find us.
My Journey
-
…giving me a quick nod, usually in a hurry, glancing at their watches. One program after another ran on the screens, and more and more stories accumulated inside me. I kept so many of my interviews to myself for a long time - especially when they touched on existential dimensions. I often felt that topics you couldn't easily explain didn't have a place in everyday media life – too out of touch with reality.
I learned a lot from those who found trust again after a crisis. Especially when life turned upside down or doubts were particularly loud, it felt good to listen to women who had found themselves. And I wanted to share that.
-
...I analyzed films and media formats, worked with media technology, and immersed myself in the principles of storytelling.
At the same time, I continuously explored methods of self-awareness and interpersonal process facilitation. I was trained to refine my sensitivity to moods and nuances, learned to recognize underlying belief patterns, and to see people from different perspectives.
Looking back, it was mainly about on thing: to deepen my perception and to align with intention.
People who had access to their inner world touched me more deeply. At the same time, staying grounded was essential to me, which is why I rarely told anyone that I meditated for two hours a day during that time.
-
…Precisely because I was working in a world where colleagues discussed broadcasting times, ratings, and the next television award, I did not allow myself to shed light on subjects that were, at first glance, less tangible. I collected these stories, yet kept them to myself for a long time - out of concern that I would not be taken seriously.
Only over time did I understand that the meeting point between inner worlds and groundedness is where I belong. And that there are people who long exactly for that: to be seen and taken seriously in an authentic way, with all their facets.
Especially in educational, social, and cultural contexts, I see this form of making stories visible as essential, because social change begins where people feel seen and experience themselves as authentic and effective.So I started conducting interviews outside of this newsroom environment. Without a broadcast format, without time pressure, simply out of the moment. Many of those interviews emerged spontaneously, out of a gut feeling: this woman has been through a lot. I want to know more.
Today, I bring together my journalistic experience and my sensitivity to nuance in interviews, films, and photographic work that gives women the space to show themselves authentically.
I portray women in social professions: social workers, therapists, coaches, and founders of social organizations, who want to make their offers, projects, and stories visible.
Women who feel: I have lived what I speak of. I want the right people to find me. I want my clients to understand who I am and how my journey has shaped my work.
I bring your story to light – through photos, films, and in your own words: for your website, social media, or marketing materials. So others can see themselves in you and feel trust in your guidance.
Education
My journey into visual language began with an analog camera and black-and-white film in the darkroom. I learned to see and to make the essential visible. During my studies, I discovered film production and found what has stayed with me to this day: the connection between visual design and stories that encourage people to explore new paths, to show themselves, and to change the world.
