About me

I'm an independent designer and illustrator with a foundation in architecture and art, exploring the beauty of life's simplest moments through a bold, minimalistic lens. My journey began with a love for drawing that led me through art school, a Master's in Architecture, and, ultimately, a transformative leap into the world of illustration. Today, my work blends influences from pop art and iconic movements of the '50s and '60s, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists—Andy Warhol, Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and Yayoi Kusama, to name a few.

My work is characterized by bold colors, limited palettes, and a penchant for stark black-and-white imagery. I find joy in illustrating both serious and whimsical subjects, from social issues to children's illustrations and product packaging. Influences from the worlds of architecture, fashion, and editorial illustration often inform my compositions, where simplicity and expressive design meet. Inspired by the work of illustrators like Malika Favre and David Downton, I approach each project as a unique challenge to create meaning with minimalism and impact.

Always open to new creative horizons, I'm continually inspired by interesting places, powerful art, and thoughtful design. I'm excited to collaborate with brands, publications, and creative projects that resonate with my approach and vision.
