Let's Make Something
Raw client brief — messy napkin sketch with handwritten notes and rough wireframe drawings
Before

“Something modern, maybe a logo, we'll know it when we see it.”

— Client brief, 2025

Finished brand system — crisp vector logo and brand identity on dark field with violet accents
After

A complete brand system, built to last a decade.

Design is an argument.
Every decision needs a reason.

I am an independent graphic designer with a passion for turning ideas into reality by bringing concepts to life through designs, branding, and creative content.

MY WORK

— How I work

Three weeks or three months.
Never three years.

01

Immersion

Two to five days reading everything: the brief, the competitors, the category, the cultural moment. I form opinions before I open Figma.

02

Diverge

Forty directions, seriously. Most are wrong, some are interesting, two or three are right. You see all of them. We narrow together.

03

Converge

One direction, fully resolved. Not three options with equal merit — a recommendation with a reason. Then we refine until it's unimprovable.

something sharp.

Accepting new projects for Q3 2026. Typical engagement: 3–12 weeks. Typical client: someone who's already tried the cheaper option.
