Passionate. Creative. Hard working. Reliable I consider myself a storyteller. I have always beens art oriented and creative. I've been lucky enough to work in various ways in performing arts (music-dance) and visual arts (illustration, design, video) along my life. I do believe my extensive and eclectic background enriches every project I take on. Ultimately, I believe I am fascinated by communication, emotions and the quest of beauty. I am mainly a director, editor and post producer. I can also develop ideas, scripts, storyboards and put my great team together to shoot whatever is needed! Love to catch projects from scratch and work side by side with the customer so I can offer my creative input after understanding exactly what they want and need. Also love to get somebody else's footage and embellish it. Anyways, love my job.

Born in Brazil to a Swiss father and a Brazilian mother, I grew up in the Italian part of Switzerland. I studied political sciences and I am self made reporter. One year after a trip to West Africa in which I documented a tribe that practices Scarification, El País contacted me wanting to buy and publish my piece. Since then I have done numerous pieces for the Brazilian media, Swiss television, and for El País. In collaboration with the media or Non-governmental organizations, I am interested in raising awareness about topics related to justice and social inequalities. However, as an inquisitive and disciplined professional I am mostly committed to my own long term projects which involve immersing myself in communities that challenge his own beliefs, paradigms and worldview. I enjoy researching, writing, taking pictures and filming. If I can, I avoid video editing. I speak fluent Italian, German, French, English, Portuguese, Spanish and I also speak some Rumanian.

I hold a masters degree in creative media at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, exploring narratives with 360 video, virtual reality and spatial audio, as powerful immersive tools to tell stories. As a photographer and video-maker I have covered, over the past 20 years, subjects ranging from development to identity issues and current affairs, through assignments for the international media, NGOs and various commercial organisations.

In 2000 I moved to London, where I lived and worked for 8 years and studied photojournalism and documentary photography at the London College of Communication (former LCP). Since 2009 I have been based in Rio de Janeiro and I am available for assignments such as reportage, NGO, portraiture and commercial photography and video (including 360 videos), in Brazil or elsewhere in Latin America.

I am a journalist since 2004 and a History graduation student since 2016. In 2004, at the age of 18, I co-founded a newspaper called O Aporema, at the Journalism School at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, in south of Brazil. Highlight for the coverage of the editions of the World Social Forum. Also during this period, I installed community radios in different parts of Porto Alegre. From 2006 to 2008, I was a reporter and producer for BandNewsFM, Rádio Bandeirantes AM and Rádio da Universidade da UFRGS, with an emphasis on reporting on city, politics and sport in Rio Grande do Sul. From 2008 to 2013, I worked at TV Globo, the biggest brazillian broadcaster, as editor and producer. At SporTV, my most interesting project was the series "Brasil Fora de Série", which went through almost all states in the country to show the culture of football as a fundamental identity character of Brazilians. In 2013, after the popular riots, I resigned from Globo in disagreement with the editorial line of the station, attacking the protesters and the political project chosen by the population at the federal level. From 2014, as a freelancer, I participated in activist journalism movements, such as Mídia Ninja and Free Journalists. I developed a project for long reports, called Jornalismo em Pé, in defense of dignity and human rights. Still as a freelancer, I have worked for 6 years for the Brazilian Paralympic Committee and for the International Paralympic Committee - highlighting the coverage of the Rio 2016 Paralympics. About politics, Rio de Janeiro and History, I wrote reports for sites like UOL, Punteiro Izquierdo, Sul21, The Intercept Brasil, Magazine of the Movement of the Homeless Workers and Greenpeace. I participated in coverage such as the Mariana dam disaster, the impeachment of Dilma Roussef in Brasília and the police violence in Rio. As a sports journalist, I was a producer, screenwriter and editor of TV and Internet series. In 2014, I scripted and edited the series Nem Tudo É Grenal, about Football History in Rio Grande do Sul. In 2019, I produced and edited a series In Search of America for Sport Club Internacional, which contains a history of football in cities where the club dispute the 2019 Libertadores de América. Recently, I have been developing videos on Virtual Reality technology, for immersive glasses in 360 degrees. I have already produced a video for Internacional and another for Flamengo's official stores - in this case, about the club's historic 2019 season, with the titles of the Brazilian National Championships and Libertadores. Since 2016, I have graduated in History at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro with special interest in the history of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil.
