I’m a Visual and Brand Designer with over a decade of experience working on accessible, functional, and thoughtful design. I care about creating design that is functional and clear, but also original and full of personality. In the past, I’ve explored frame-by-frame animation, experimental films, and played bass in my electronic band. I do black and white grotesque art under the name Tronkilu, where I focus on raw expression and strange visuals. I love the craft of design and bring curiosity, style, and attention to detail into everything I work on.
