I’m an independent designer, illustrator, and writer.

For the last 20 years I’ve developed user interfaces, publications, and brands for clients all over the world. I also like to write essays and make prints. I have a lot of interests, but a common thread for me is assembling bigger stories from many small details. I love to connect dots and find new relationships.

Design work

My first gig was a website for an employment office in my hometown. I was lucky to get that job, and I’ve been lucky ever since; I’ve worked with many clients who do great work that I’m proud to contribute to.

Along the way I’ve followed a winding path, but branding and user interface (UX/UI) design have become specialties. I especially love the way that branding and user experience influence one another, and I love building a brand concept out into a living design system.

It’s a rabbit hole I’ll probably never see the bottom of.
