What - How

Concept development, planning, consulting, and support for the realization of live events and competitions for on-site audiences, television, and live streams – accessible to everyone – are my core responsibilities. My focus is on solution-oriented, open collaboration and on formats that are content-driven, emotionally engaging, and barrier-free. Teamwork with event management, directing, production, communications, marketing, and the protagonists is central to my approach in order to deliver tailored and successful products.

Where From – Where To

My many years of experience in live event production, competition formats, project development as well as accessibility at Cybathlon and accessify.live shape my work today. Together with national and international production teams, I consistently pursue the goal of creating engaging, emotional, relevant, efficient, and accessible live shows and media products.

Featured Projects

Every project reflects my passion for live experiences, emotionally engaging media, and accessibility — in at sports events and beyond.

Cybathlon

Cybathlon, an international non-profit project initiated by ETH Zurich, acts as a platform that challenges teams from all over the world to develop assistive technologies suitable for everyday use with and for people with disabilities. The driving force behind Cybathlon is an international competitions, in which teams consisting of technology developers from universities, companies or NGOs and a person with disabilities tackle various everyday tasks with their latest assistive technologies. The participants with physical disabilities show how to tie shoelaces with a robotic arm prosthesis, balance on rocks with a prosthetic leg or overcome uneven terrain with an exoskeleton.
