As an experienced logo and visual identity designer I help companies and brands stand out through through bold and impactful identities that engage with their audience and grow their business.
By understanding your objectives, audience and competitors, I will smoothly and efficiently solve your design problems and take your brand to the next level.
Your logo and visual identity are the face of your brand and I work with clients of all sizes to build bold, eye-catching and long-lasting brand systems that use the client’s personality and purpose as the core focus, forming an identity that is at once strong and identifiable but also flexible and adaptable enough to thrive across multiple applications.

My process is driven by curiosity, outside-of-the-box thinking and unique storytelling and it would be great to talk further about how we can work together in creating innovative solutions to your design problems.
