Hello! Welcome to my site.

I am a graphic designer currently based in liverpool . I focus in communication with emphasis experimental and playful styles and ideas unified with a strong conceptual basis, centered mainly around image and type.

My work encompasses a wide area of disiplines including creative direction, publication and print, visual identity systems, typography and lettering, and image making.

Type design/typographic experimentation

When thinking about a culture I belong to, being a collector instantly came to mind, and specifically
collecting figures as a kid with my brother. With this idea it triggered a memory of the crazy styles
and designs that surrounded the items at the time, the classic Y2K feel y'know.

The start of making BRIKK and Packvin began with a direction that aimed to create this nostalgic
feeling by relating my experiences within childhood to others who grew up around the same thing.
BRIKK represents the form and building blocks of childhood toys and thier memories, and Packvin
being a nod to the early 2000’s style of design of which many of the toys were package.

With these typefaces it lead to the creation of three posters [Gather #2].
