Art direction meets collage chaos. I design bold, layered identities with personality.

A torn grayscale portrait collage of a face placed over vivid pink and green florals. Visually layered and surreal, evoking glitch and distortion.

Project 01

Split Signal

Black and white portrait of a person wearing glasses centered on a vivid yellow square, framed by a deep brown background. Clean and graphic.

Project 02

Color Holding

High-contrast yellow halftone pattern with diagonal streaks, emulating risograph print textures. Abstract and energetic.

Project 03

Aetherfield

A portrait of a person with their face mirrored and vertically stretched, surrounded by archival papers and grainy textures. Dreamlike and disorienting.

Project 04

Mildly impressive moments

Along the way: featured on Figma Community, invited to speak at a design thing, and once accidentally made a typeface that looked like pasta. My work has shown up in zines, mockups, sticker-covered laptops, and one Berlin subway ad (true story). Small wins, big joy.

Close-up of a person’s shoulder under a sheer red polka-dot fabric, revealing skin and freckles beneath the veil.
Abstract digital artwork featuring a swirling pink, green, and yellow spiral gradient with soft grainy texture.
Photograph of five white Buddha statues stacked largest to smallest in symmetrical alignment against a pale blue sky.
Red-tinged photo of a person standing in a room, partially obscured by abstract texture and scan marks, resembling a double exposure or film burn.
Macro photo of a yellow-orange organic structure resembling plant cells or soap film bubbles on a light background.
Abstract photo of organic black shadow shapes cast against a soft orange surface, creating a fluid, high-contrast composition.
Two figures standing against a yellow background wearing saturated red and blue outfits, faces obscured by circular color blocks.
Faded double-exposure portrait of a woman overlaid with painterly brown and orange textures, creating a moody, dreamlike effect.
