As a designer I like to interrogate how we relate to the world surrounding us. My work is all about challenging conventional ideas and beliefs, making the invisible visible by creating playful representations of information. My passion lies with people and my talent in connecting dots through exploration and storytelling.
Feel free to contact me for questions, thoughts or coffee ︎
