Every project brings new challenges. It is an incredible moment when I get to stand in front of the finished product, whether it’s the design for a cup, an exhibition, or packaging. A holistic approach is extremely important to me, being there from the beginning until the product is sold. Creating a mood and a feel. Filling a minimalist design with emotions.
I love working with a wide range of people. Each person has their specialty, their own aesthetic, and sense of colour and space.
