Designer Statement

Designer Statement

I am a communication designer who makes complex systems, information, and experiences more visible, understandable, and navigable. My work moves between UX/UI, branding systems, wayfinding, environmental graphics, and physical fabrication, areas that let me consider how people encounter information across both digital and physical spaces.

I am drawn to the clarity and discipline of modernist systems, particularly the work of Herbert Bayer and Massimo Vignelli, while remaining attentive to the human experiences those systems serve. Influenced by Giorgia Lupi’s approach to data humanism, I see structure not as a way to flatten complexity, but as a means of making room for it. Whether designing for access to information, safety and belonging, overlooked histories, or experiences such as ADHD and anxiety, I aim to create visual systems that are clear, accessible, and grounded in real life.
