02 — ABOUT

A human intention.
Infinite possibilities.

As a Swiss art director, I work with brands in French-speaking Switzerland and remotely. I create , campaigns and films that tell a . From concept to final images, I develop a vision and ensure its consistency across every medium. Artificial intelligence is one of the tools I explore to open up new , with the same commitment: a point of view, an emotion, an identity.

Every project begins with a conversation and an idea to develop. I then find the visual language that feels right for it, through images, movement and details.

PROJECT 07 / 30

PostFinance

Global Campagne / Video / Branding

A finger gesture becomes the driving force of a campaign. Exploring the ease of digital interactions, the imagery turns interfaces, objects and spaces into a world of movement.

The work connects film, graphic compositions and communication materials. Fingerprints, light and volume express a sense of fluidity across very different formats.

PostFinance — The film

Make simplicity visible.

“Banking fingerleicht” brings the new PostFinance app back to a familiar gesture: a finger on a screen. The campaign gives a promise of simplicity a tangible form. That gesture drives the film and connects people, their phones and the app’s possibilities, placing the technology in an everyday situation.

One gesture, a whole world

Take movement beyond the screen.

The glowing fingerprint, trails of light and dimensional symbols make actions usually contained within an interface visible. Their movement links a gesture to what it sets in motion. The contrast between filmed scenes and graphic elements creates a dynamic world, telling the app’s story through its use and the energy it releases.

From screen to campaign

Keep the gesture as the common thread.

On the poster, flyer and web page, the phone and hand remain the composition’s reference points. Graphic symbols carry the film’s energy, while PostFinance yellow makes the brand recognisable. The hierarchy brings a short headline, the app’s promise and an invitation to discover it together, giving each format a clear way into the same idea.
