I remember when I first looked markings on a wooden pillar and saw the outline of a puppy. My imagination began to unfold. The instinct to find something intriguing within chaos shapes my thinking and my approach to design. I translate abstract emotions and atmospheres into tangible visuals, giving shapes and symbols their own voice and presence. My goal is not to deliver just information, but to craft narratives that resonate—designs that breathe with life, evoke feeling, and invite connection.
