The design I work with has come out of a background in packaging, branding, print and advertising. This mix has bred an approach that combines utility with wit that is executed with the economy of a bold graphic style.
I enjoy exploring a subject playing on paradoxes or contradictions that i can find. I like these because they have the power to disrupt logical expectations; they surprise us and reveal deeper truths on a subject that can otherwise be revealed through
literal means. It also engages the viewer, really helping to communicate a particular message.
