DISCIPLINE: GRAPHIC COMMUNICATION

CAREER AREA OF INTEREST: GRAPHIC DESIGN and TYPOGRAPHY

BIO: I see typography as more than legibility - it’s a system of expression shaped by contrast, scale, and repetition. My work is deeply influenced by the precision of Swiss style, where grids create hierarchy and clarity, yet leave room for exploration. I draw inspiration from studios like Experimental Jetset, who reveal how a single element - often Helvetica - can generate limitless visual possibilities through restraint and minimalism.

For me, identity is fluid, emerging through structured variations where hierarchy transforms type into a vibrant visual language. By working within the grid while pushing against its boundaries, I use design systems to build narratives that balance order, clarity, and creative expansion.
