Designer & Artist
Creative work for projects finding their form.
I work with artists, practitioners, musicians, independent creators, and projects that care deeply about what they are bringing into the world.
Together, we listen to the project, discover what gives it character and intention, and find the forms through which it can come alive.
Visual identity, websites, creative direction, editorial, packaging, and other creative occurrences can all be part of the work.

Ways we can work
✴ Creative Archive
For projects seeking clarity, coherence, and a way to give form to what already exists.
-
You have years of images, projects, texts, performances, recordings, ideas, or fragments.We look at what is there, notice the connections, and find a way to hold the larger body of work.
Website · portfolio · archive · publication · catalogue · presentation
𖦏 Digital Home
For projects looking for a home that feels like their own.
-
A thoughtful website or digital home for an artist, practice, project, or independent business.We work together to understand what needs to be there, what it should feel like, and how everything can come together.
⚡︎ Project Activation
For projects that need space to discover what they want to become.
-
This is a more open and exploratory process.We start with the project itself — its desire, questions, values, history, personality, and possibilities — and spend time discovering what it wants to become.
Conversation, research, creative exercises, imagination, experimentation, and design are all part of the process.
The final form might be an identity, website, publication, object, creative direction, or something we couldn't have named at the beginning.
⚒ Creative Collaboration
-
For projects that continue to evolve, I also work through an ongoing creative relationship.We might begin with one project and continue into another — a website, publication, packaging, art direction, a new body of work, or something else that emerges along the way.
The relationship can evolve with the work.
How I work
I don't think design is only about making something look good or function well.
Every project has a character.
It comes from somewhere. It has its own questions, personality, purpose, desires, values, and ways of moving through the world.
I like to spend time getting close to that.
Sometimes this means questionnaires and conversations. Sometimes research, collecting images, making things, following a connection that doesn't make sense yet, or simply paying attention to what keeps appearing.
My artistic and Psychosomagic practice also shapes the way I work. Imagination, embodiment, symbolism, intuition, and ritual can become part of the process when they are useful to the project.
There is a structure, but it is not a formula.
The work is about developing a meaningful relationship with what you are making and giving it a form that feels alive, wonderful, and functional.

What I’m drawn to
I'm especially drawn to work connected to:
art · music · embodiment · ecology · spirituality · community · culture · sustainability · education · ethical technology
I like working with people who care about what they are making and want to be part of the process.
Projects don't have to fit into a particular category.
I care about projects that contribute something to life.
Let's make something!
If you are beginning something, trying to understand what you've already made, or looking for someone to help you bring it into form, I'd love to hear about it.
