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
-
…many editors were in a rush. A brief nod, eyes on the clock. One program followed the next on the screens, while more and more stories began to build up inside me. I kept many of my interviews to myself for a long time, especially when conversations touched experiences that could hardly be translated into images or short TV pieces. What moved me most were stories of people whose view of life had fundamentally changed - through existential crises such as illness, loss, or environmental disasters.
I learned a lot from those who found trust again after a crisis. Especially when life had been turned upside down or doubt had grown loud, it meant something to listen to women who had found their way back to themselves. And these were exactly the stories I wanted to share.
-
...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.
This led to a growing interest in making inner experiences visible.
-
Precisely because I was working in a world shaped by broadcast schedules, ratings, and discussions about the next television award, it took me a long time to give space to what is quiet and often unseen.
Over time, I came to realise that my greatest joy lies in translating inner processes into images - allowing new projects, initiatives, and perspectives to emerge from them. Especially in educational, social, and cultural contexts, I consider this form of listening and making visible to be essential, because meaningful change begins where people feel seen and recognise their own impact.
I began listening to women who dedicate themselves to others and remain in the background. Women whose stories are rarely told, and whose work is often rooted in deep personal experience.
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.
