I studied fashion and design in Berlin and São Paulo. Through the end of the 1980s I lived in Rome, before moving to Hamburg and Berlin, where I worked many years as a designer, forecasting trends and designing products for creative agencies and editors. My interest in new forms of expression led me to study journalism, and to extended travel through Brazil and Belize. Since 2013 I have been working as a journalist, producer and director, focusing on cultural and Human Interest Journalism in Maputo, Mozambique.

The PANDZA Land story series focuses on individual facets and experiences of a different reality. A look at the past and the present. The title as a metaphor of moments of ambivalence. In the local languages Xichangana and Xironga the word Pandza means: to tear up, hit, or break something. The everyday expression stands for confusion, the sudden swing between negative and positive. Pandza Land paints a portrait of Mozambique as it is today to explore its complexities through different viewpoints.
