Hi, I’m Patz. I spent years in HR managing expectations, communicating clearly, and building processes and workflows. Then I realised I didn't want to stay in systems that were built around efficiency rather than people. I wanted to work with people who genuinely care... where they care about their brand, their product, but most importantly, they care about the people they interact with. Now, I build brand identities and web experiences. I keep the process clear, the communication direct, and the work intentional. No jargon, no tired-ass buzzwords. Just honest designs built intentionally for the client. I don’t overcomplicate things. I listen, I build smart systems, and then I create designs that feel grounded and true. I like structure, defined processes, and I push ideas until they feel real, not just good-looking. Meaning and precision matter to me. If you’re here, welcome. Let’s get into it.
