I’m a multidisciplinary content creator specialised in ‘haute couture’ site concepts and bespoke content strategy. Photography is my alphabet. Visual arts, visual journalism and mix media storytelling, the spine of my carrier. I stand for meaningful and complex stories to be told within elegant interfaces and technologies.

Dandy Vagabonds was founded in New York as a one-woman-band in 2007; the name a tribute to artists, auteurs and institutions investing the real through place-based research, digital anthropology, critical thinking and metaphors.

All site projects are hand-crafted with love, with my childhood friend senior developer Jérôme Guckenheim. Most of our collaborations are with artists, independent producers, galleries and cultural institutions. If you wish to build a bespoke site or commission a photo essay, write here.
