I’m a graphic designer, dance educator and interdisciplinary workshop facilitator. I specialise in playful layouts and typography, softly influenced by music and design aesthetics from the 1950s–70s. My fascination with movement, rhythm and fluidity can be found in various projects, including print, editorial, books, branding, visual identity, logo design, art direction, event promotion and teaching.

I’ve worked with many cultural and educational institutions, in both design and facilitation. I particularly enjoy working on projects that focus on social impact, accessibility, and cultural diversity.
