I’m trained as a graphic designer and a journalist.
When approaching different projects, I interrogate and reimagine the medium of making. I build books as sculptures. I draw typefaces with code. I design dynamic identities that constantly change but also remain consistent.
Especially today, design is the reason I get up in the morning and feel proud to be a part of the world.
