Graphic Design & Art Direction / freelance


Currently working as a independent graphic designer. My work is based on an exploratory approach to design. I enjoy connecting various disciplines, such as screen and print design, photography, creative coding, 3D design, motion graphics, film and illustration.

Environmental responsibility is an integral part of my personal and professional life, which is why I'm drawn to projects and clients that prioritise sustainability and environmental awareness. Within my practice it's important to me create solutions that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable, protecting the environment and promoting values for the future.
