Multidisciplinary designer, Tessa has studied at the ECAL (School of art and design Lausanne), where she learned visual communication and more specifically graphic design and media & interaction design. After a few years working in a communication agency as a junior art director she decided to move to Paris. 

In September 2019 she started a formation in ceramics. This program, validated by a CAP, allowed her to understand each step of the manufacturing and decoration of ceramic objects. Back in Locarno, she decided to set up her own ceramic studio: Momento Ceramics. A place of work, meetings, and creative experiments. She is also the founder of valdo.studio a graphic design studio, these two activities allows her to have dynamic days by keeping her motivation high and to always have creative stimuli and ideas.
