Advanced Writing & Thinking Services
I am a writer, structural editor and coach and facilitator for both thinking and writing.
Berlin-based, I hold a doctorate in philosophy and have 10+ years of professional experience working across English, French and German.
By trade, I am a narration, text, and thought expert: I design and restructure intellectual and narrative systems, aiming to make them sound and compelling.
But at heart, I am a thinking partner for hire, and flexibility is my core asset. Taking into account your specific context, needs, and challenges, I adopt your perspective to help you reach your goals.
I enjoy meeting people and discovering their context. Each collaboration comes with a new set of stories that I get to discover, and that is what keeps me interested in my work.
I see intellectual caregiving as the core of my work: I treat ideas and words as beings in need of nurturance, so as they can thrive.
And that is why I approach every new project with a simple question:
"How can I help?"
I write at all stages and for all types of projects:
I specialize in the high-level editing of idea-driven texts (Developmental and Substantive Editing). I work collaboratively with authors and teams, taking on projects at every stage of completion—from early drafts to near-final manuscripts.
I help you:
I support individuals and teams working on high-stakes writing projects and facing tight deadlines.
I help you:
I accompany individuals and teams in moments of conceptual or strategic uncertainty—when ideas are confused, directions are unclear and priorities need sorting.
I help you clarify:
My approach combines structured dialogue, Socratic questioning, perspective and scale shifting, and strategic synthesis.
Each collaboration begins with attentive listening and ends with a clear, coherent text or plan. In all contexts, I combine writing, editing, and strategic facilitation: helping clients think, decide, and communicate more clearly.
I am genuinely interested in people and their context, and that is always what carries me at the onset of every project. I first focus on entering your worldview through the tools of active listening, outcome-oriented communication, and Socratic questioning. It is only after understanding your ideas and challenges from within that I can maximize the effect of my own expertise.
As a philosophy Ph.D, I am an intellectual Swiss army knife: I am an expert in critical thinking, no matter the field. My trade is logical, conceptual, and narrative consistency, and that is what I seek in every situation. This is what enables me to quickly and flexibly engage with intellectual and practical problems across domains—including those I know little about.
Central parts of my toolkit are: systematic questioning (interrogating all assumptions anew), systemic analysis (always seeing problems as part of a greater system), perspective shifting (seeing things from the viewpoint of different stakeholders and interests) and scale-shifting (from micro to macro and back).
I am a true generalist with broad, eclectic knowledge, having worked in many different professional fields, which supports my approach to any problem. This makes me particularly efficient in multi- and trans-disciplinary situations, where complex problems overlapping different realms of knowledge and interests are at stake.
When necessary, I ground my work in rigorous fact-checking, evidence-based argumentation, and engagement with scientific sources and debates. My academic background allows me to produce work that can withstand scrutiny from experts.
I aim to produce writing that is simple, clear, and graspable, making complex ideas accessible without oversimplifying them. When required, I can shape narratives that connect on a human level—stories that engage readers emotionally and persuasively, not just intellectually.
I work fluently across English, French, and German—both linguistically and culturally. My cosmopolitan background—shaped by familial migration, personal expatriation, and lifelong multilingual and cross-cultural experiences—allows me to adapt naturally to new cultural and linguistic contexts.
I am a transversal thinker: I build bridges across contexts that do not seem to belong together, and that is often how I solve problems. This makes me a transdisciplinary expert, but not only: I am adept at creating meaning through any kind of connection—between fields, disciplines, ideas, stories, problems, perspectives, lived experiences, or people.
Before committing to any collaboration, let's make sure we're aligned — and that I can genuinely help.
Book a free video call, and we'll talk through what you're working on.
After we meet, I'll send you a short written assessment that includes:
Think of it as a thinking session with a follow-up roadmap — even if we do not end up working together, you'll at least leave with a fresh outside specialist perspective.
Write to me, including a short explanation of the situation at hand, and we will schedule a call.
