Listen
We start with a conversation about your goals, your audience and what success looks like. I ask a lot of questions.


I grew up drawing on everything: notebooks, sneakers, the backs of my grandmother's grocery lists. Somewhere between Saturday morning cartoons and the flat, fearless colors of pop art, I learned that a picture can make a stranger smile before they read a single word.
Today I run a small independent studio in Brooklyn. I partner with founders, publishers and cultural teams who want their work to feel human and impossible to ignore, from a bakery's very first logo to a festival seen by a hundred thousand people.
My process is equal parts play and rigor. I sketch a lot, test early and build systems that keep their personality from the first poster to the five hundredth screen. When I'm not designing, you'll find me printing zines on my risograph, painting walls with neighbors or hunting down the perfect pastry.
How I work
Every project moves through four simple stages, so you always know what's happening and what comes next.
We start with a conversation about your goals, your audience and what success looks like. I ask a lot of questions.
I explore ideas quickly and widely on paper, then share the strongest directions so we can choose one together.
The chosen direction grows into a complete system, tested on real applications and refined with your feedback.
You get polished files, clear guidelines and a launch plan, plus support while everything rolls out.
