About

I’m a graphic designer with a strong focus on turning ideas into distinctive visual worlds. My work spans brand identity, packaging, editorial and presentation design, with particular attention to imagery, composition, colour and the emotional response a design creates. I began my career in Switzerland and Germany, working in graphic design and advertising agencies before moving into freelance design.
