I’m an artist and designer working across illustration, bookmaking, painting, graphic design and digital products — in the space between art and design.
My work sits between art and design — a space where ideas turn into stories, and stories into form. Through my own practice I explore storytelling, empathy and human emotion.
I believe in the power of simplicity: that even the heaviest subjects can be expressed with clarity and grace. Some of the best ideas start as play, and the archive holds the personal work — prints, pages, paintings and experiments — that quietly feeds everything else. The studio brings that same care to every brand, book and product it touches.
