Orange is my favourite colour, so the mark starts there. Acid green, hard black, and a face that refuses to be cute.

How I work
I studied architecture for five years before moving into graphic design. I still think design sometimes starts from the object, the material and the space it lives in. I draw a lot of what I design myself, in Procreate or Illustrator, but I know how to create reusable design components for quick prototyping or design systems, depending on the project needs. I work for print and for screen, and I like the part of the job where a file could become a physical thing.
