Profile
I’m a multidisciplinary visual communication designer whose practice combines critical research with craft-driven design. Working across editorial design, brand identity, installation and digital media, I explore how visual communication shapes the way we think, perceive and make decisions.            

Alongside my interest in design theory and critical inquiry, I’m passionate about typography, traditional print production, hand-crafted publications and visual storytelling. Influenced by Swiss Design, minimalist aesthetics and analogue photography, I value precision, materiality and clarity while remaining committed to questioning the assumptions that shape contemporary design practice.
