I approach design with the belief that visual language needs to be diverse to stand out. My work leans away from overly commercial aesthetics, focusing instead on creating something slightly unexpected—work that feels personal, refined, and intentionally crafted. I collaborate with businesses, artists, and creators who care about what they put into the world, whether that’s in art, food, experiences, or thoughtfully made products.

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Design should feel intentional, not formulaic. I do branding, print, and digital materials that feel distinct, balancing structure with creative intuition. My work is best suited for those who want to move away from generic, trend-driven aesthetics toward something that truly reflects their vision.

BRANDING & IDENTITY

Logos, color palettes, typography, and brand guidelines that feel human and considered.

EDITORIAL & PRINT Books, magazines, packaging, and printed matter with depth and texture.

ART DIRECTION

I shape the visual identity of a brand or project with an emphasis on storytelling and creative cohesion. My approach blends intuition with strategy, ensuring a unique perspective in every detail.

CREATIVE DIRECTION
Developing a distinct aesthetic and visual framework.

PHOTOSHOOT & CAMPAIGN STYLING

Guiding the creative process to produce imagery that feels natural and compelling.

VISUAL STRATEGY

Building design systems and mood boards that break from the expected.

SITE DESIGN

For those who need a simple yet well-crafted online presence, I offer streamlined web design using Cargo. My focus is on creating sites that are visually strong, easy to navigate, and tailored to the essence of your work, without unnecessary complexity.

COMMISSIONED WORK

I take on select commissions that allow for creative exploration beyond traditional design projects. This could include:

ILLUSTRATION & CUSTOM LETTERING

Bespoke visuals tailored to your project.

PERSONAL & COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS

Unique design and art-driven collaborations.

EXPERIMENTAL WORK

Unconventional formats, material explorations, and conceptual pieces.

ALBUM ARTWORK & VISUAL IDENTITY FOR MUSICIANS

The right visuals shape how an audience connects with your work before they even press play. I design album covers and supporting visuals that reflect the essence of the music, moving beyond the overly polished, commercial aesthetic to create something raw, striking, and memorable.

ALBUM COVERS

Visually capturing the mood, tone, and identity of your sound.

SINGLE ARTWORK

Cohesive visuals to support your releases.

VINYL & PACKAGING DESIGN

Thoughtfully crafted physical editions.

TOURS & MERCH GRAPHICS

Posters, apparel, and promotional visuals.

ANIMATION
For music videos, reels, or for Spotify. I usually work frame by frame.
