(my story)
Most portfolio intros make everyone sound like a visionary with a caffeine problem, so here’s the less polished version. How did I get here? Let’s rewind.

I grew up in my dad’s carpentry shop, where my siblings and I spent our days among design magazines, books, house and furniture sketches, an unreasonable number of Worms matches, decor objects, fabric scraps, and every kind of office stationery.I grew up in my dad’s carpentry shop, where my siblings and I spent our days among design magazines, books, house and furniture sketches, an unreasonable number of Worms matches, decor objects, fabric scraps, and every kind of office stationery.
From there, the obsession only grew. I decided that when I grew up, I would design magazines and books. I didn’t know this profession had a name until I met Anna, my graphic design teacher, during my final years of high school. Her first assignment? Designing a magazine cover.

That was the beginning of a long, slightly obsessive relationship with design. I knew I had found the field I wanted to stay in, and I haven’t stopped learning, experimenting, or finding new ways to push it since.That was the beginning of a long, slightly obsessive relationship with design.

Since then, I’ve worked across analog craft, print, web and product design—still my favorite territory—as well as illustration, photography, image-making, and motion. I use whichever medium helps an idea become clearer, stranger, or more memorable.Since then, I’ve worked across analog craft, print, web and product design—still my favorite territory—as well as illustration, photography, image-making, and motion.

I love shaping brands from start to finish, turning intangible stories into coherent systems that can live across digital and print.I love shaping brands from start to finish, turning intangible stories into coherent systems that can live across digital

I’m drawn to experimental design, visual friction, and identities that refuse a single tone. Design isn’t neutral decoration: it carries culture, ideology, and power. At its best, it doesn’t just change how something looks—it changes how it can be read, felt, and remembered.I’m drawn to experimental design, visual friction, and identities that refuse a single tone.
