I approach graphic design as an open process in which the essence of a project is revealed through dialogue, research, and an intuitive engagement with content, medium, and materiality. Beyond formal design decisions, I am interested in what existing elements communicate intrinsically and how I, as a designer, can respond to that.
Guided by this approach, I develop websites, printed matter, and flexible visual systems for clients in the cultural sector.
Open to commissions and collaborations.
Development of concepts and design systems that adapt to various formats and applications. I think of visual identities as dynamic frameworks that can evolve and grow with a project.
Concept, design, and development of high-performance websites. I treat websites as functional tools that give a project’s core clear structure and make it accessible. For web development, I work with Kirby CMS (or in some cases, WordPress).
When conceptualizing and designing print products, I place great emphasis on a deep engagement with the content. Through clear information hierarchy and clean typography, an accessible structure is created for what needs to be communicated. I am interested in the interplay of content, form, printing processes, and material.
I use creative coding as a method to develop custom design tools and work in a data-driven way. This approach leads to interactive solutions that create new ways to access content, purposefully mediating at the intersection of digital systems and analog formats.
