About

"Good design disappears. What's left is the feeling people can't quite explain."

I started out sketching band posters in university and never really stopped treating design like a form of storytelling. Ten years later, most of my work still starts with a pencil, not a screen.

These days I split my time between brand identity work and longer-term design systems — the kind of projects where the first sketch and the shipped product look nothing alike, in the best way.
