Story
I was born in Aigle, a cute, sleepy little village in the Swiss mountains.
I graduated with a B.Sc. in Geosciences and Environment at the University of Lausanne, in 2021.
I graduated with a B.Sc. in Geosciences and Environment at the University of Lausanne, in 2021.
Then I started the International Cartography M.Sc. programme. Each semester a new city: the lectures were given at the Technical Universities of Munich, Vienna, and Dresden.
During the summer 2022, I did an internship at Esri Switzerland, in Zurich, Esri being the market leader company in GIS.
In March 2023, I spent one month in Glasgow, working at HarperCollins Publishers to make about 20 thematic maps and infographics, published in the last edition of the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World.
After successfully defending my thesis in Vienna in September 2023, I graduated with an M.Sc. in Cartography.
Since November 2023, I am working part-time as a cartography lecturer at the Technical University of Vienna.
But above all: I'm passionate about maps and graphic design. I love sharing insightful messages through maps and data visualizations!
