I’m all about tinkering and creating unique
solutions for both the digital and print world.
I’m really interested in the relationship between
digital and print combined. One of my favourite
ways to design is by bringing something tactile
and hand-made into a digital context, like using
a watercolour sketch as a background or a title
frame. Handcrafted designs gives me more room
to experiment, while digitizing it allows me to utilize
fundamentals, like layout, colour, and texture, at a
much faster pace.
