I started out as a graphic designer. Over time I figured out one thing: visual problems are almost always communication problems that weren't solved upstream. That's where my approach as a brand designer comes from: I don't work on single pieces, I work on the system of meaning that holds everything together. Visual identities, art direction, communication. But before getting into the actual work, I ask questions. One too many, sometimes.
