description
communication designer, freshly graduated. currently exploring my aesthetic while leaning in detail into
vibe-coding and design strategy.
my pillars are clear: clean edges, hard grids (which sometimes are ignored to enhance creativity),
alignments; defining my minimalist approach to graphic design. something, to be impactful and direct does
not have to be over-complicated.
currently exploring social-engaged projects, which are the ones
really
leaving a concrete mark in communities and initiatives.
my philosophy is therefore clear, rigor and creativity meet in the middle to create projects which are
not
banal or easily resolved, the thinking behind them is what really makes them unique.
