An opinion with nothing behind it
NEUTRALNo stock to justify, no commission on rentals. What I recommend serves nothing but the project — and a sound recommendation saves everyone time.
Technical Director — Audiovisual & Scenography
I turn
an artistic
intention into a
reliable
technical system.
15+ years in live performance and events across Switzerland: sound engineering, 2D/3D scenography, video mapping, Dante/NDI networks, technical direction of a concert hall and two festivals. From feasibility study to live delivery.
01 // The approach
My technical expertise at the service of your production
I rent out no equipment and take no commission. That independence benefits the production as much as the teams delivering it.
The link between both worlds
TRANSLATIONI turn an artistic intention into specifications a technical team can price and build without guessing. And I bring the real constraints back to the stage early, rather than during rehearsals.
I join the team, I do not replace it
TEAMIn-house technical direction, resident stage managers, regular suppliers: I work alongside the existing team and reinforce it where it helps, for as long as needed.
The earlier the question comes, the more options stay open — and the cheaper the trade-offs.

Technical Workflow • Direction & Scenography
From Concept to Delivery
A rigorous approach structured around 6 critical milestones, turning an artistic intention into a robust, safe and repeatable stage-technical architecture.
Design
Needs analysis & feasibility
Audit of spatial, acoustic and scenographic constraints. Budget framing and sizing of the distribution infrastructure.
Key Deliverables
- Concept block diagrams
- Technical scoping notes
- Risk & safety assessment
Create
Scenography & 2D/3D modelling
Technical design of stage layouts, optics and projection angle calculations, predictive acoustic calibration.
Key Deliverables
- DWG/PDF layout drawings
- 3D renders & sightline studies
- Load & rigging calculations
Prepare
Technical riders & previsualisation
Lab configuration, media timeline encoding, IP/DMX addressing, and validation of redundant backup topologies.
Key Deliverables
- Patch & routing sheets
- Network matrix & IP addressing
- Pre-programmed cue stacks
Deliver
Load-in, alignment & rehearsals
On-site load-in supervision, laser alignment of projectors, audio coverage tuning and support during artistic run-throughs.
Key Deliverables
- Geometry & colour alignment
- System balance & EQ
- Stage safety sign-off
Operate
Live cueing & real-time operation
Live control of lighting, sound and video systems. Incident handling and instant failover to redundancy protocols.
Key Deliverables
- Live cueing & triggering
- Real-time telemetry monitoring
- Daily operations report
Archive
Archiving, documentation & review
Orderly get-out, encrypted show backups, as-built documentation and debriefs with the artistic teams.
Key Deliverables
- Full show backups
- As-built technical dossier
- Post-production review & lessons learned
