Over the last years she has worked with the ensemble Ukho (Kiew), the string quartet of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and the vocal ensemble PHONIX16 (Guest Composer 2013/2014). Her visual works are being presented at galleries as well as at film and sound festivals. Part of her interdisciplinary projects, she has been continuously working with filmmaker Deborah Philipps and the dance company s h i f t s.
