Our mission
NullgradNord is an independent creative network built on collaboration.
It started with a simple idea: «Mach doch keis Büro uf.» — why open another office? In Swiss German, the phrase carries a second meaning: don’t create unnecessary bureaucracy. Instead of building another traditional agency, we created a flexible network of creative minds who come together around ideas, projects and shared curiosity.
NullgradNord connects designers, developers, artists and thinkers to explore new territories across design, technology and culture. Each project forms its own expedition, bringing together the right perspectives and expertise to navigate new challenges.
We believe meaningful work does not require a fixed place or hierarchy. It emerges through exchange, trust and the right people at the right moment.

I believe good design starts before the first pixel is placed or the first line of code is written. Form follows function is more than a principle. It is a way of thinking. Design should not decorate a solution, but reveal its purpose, making ideas, systems and interactions clearer, more useful and more human.
My journey began in Visual Communication and expanded through years of exploration, self-directed learning and hands-on software development. Today, I teach software development at the City of Zurich and lead digitalisation projects, helping teams turn complex challenges into sustainable digital solutions.
I move between design and technology, from traditional software development to modern low-code platforms. Across different tools and environments, I have learned that successful applications are not built around technology alone. They are built around people, processes and a shared understanding of what needs to be achieved.

Exploration is at the core of my creative process. By approaching a challenge from different perspectives and experimenting with multiple possibilities, I discover unexpected solutions and new directions.
Through hands-on projects and continuous experimentation, I expand my knowledge across different fields. From 3D printing and digital products to creating my own paper and exploring new materials, I enjoy moving between disciplines and understanding how things are made.
I believe that making is a form of research. Every prototype, experiment and failed attempt reveals something new. The process itself becomes a way to learn, refine ideas and uncover opportunities that might not appear through planning alone.
