Born and raised in Switzerland, she ended up in Milan in 1996 to study at the Brera Academy. After graduating, she worked for 10 years first in an advertising company, then at a photographer's agency and with a food photographer/director. Somewhat tired of production-related jobs, she decided to enroll in an evening school in order to become a chef. Once graduated, while working in a restaurant for over 6 years, some friends of her from the ad agency where she had previously worked at, occasionally called her on smaller jobs for assisting on shootings, until in 2015 she realized how working as a food stylist was the perfect solution for combining her passion for cooking and her love for photography.
