WHY WORK WITH ME?
01 Jack of All Trades
Graphic design is the backbone of everything I make- the same instincts for layout, hierarchy, and composition just show up differently depending on whether it's a poster, a frame of animation, or a page spread.
02 Intent First
Every project stands on its intent. The clearer that foundation, the stronger everything built on top of it- the layout, the colour, the final piece. Get the "why" right, and the "how" mostly figures itself out.
03 I Love a Good Direction
A good brief is a gift, and I take it seriously. I ask the questions that matter early, understand exactly what the project needs, and then just get on with it.
04 Rules Are a Starting Point
I like knowing the rules well enough to know exactly which ones are worth bending. If a project asks for something I haven't tried before, that's usually a yes, not a no.
05 Here for the People
The people part is my favourite part. Give me new people to work with and I'm happy. I learn something new from every creative I sit across from, and I'm always chasing that next conversation with someone who thinks nothing like me but somehow gets exactly what I'm going for.
SPILL IT.
Got a project, a question, or just want to talk shop? I'm all ears.
LET'S TALK
MORE ABOUT ME
Part of being a communication designer, honestly, is just trying to figure out what to call my own practice, because it spans illustration, film, print, and a bunch of things that still don't have a proper name.
Underneath all of that though, I believe design shouldn't be neutral, and at some point I stopped pretending mine should be either. I like work that picks a fight, or at least takes up its own space, and doesn't apologise for it.
A lot of that comes from what I read outside of design as much as what I make inside it. I spend an insane amount of my free time on art history and political theory, and political design is, hands down, my favourite genre- to make and to obsess over, because it's so much more than just decoration. If a piece of design makes someone a little uncomfortable on the way to making them think, I've usually done my job right.
