I am a research-led graphic communication designer, interested in the dynamic between typography, language, and technology.

- EXPERIMENTAL TYPOGRAPHY AND THE NEED FOR THE EXPERIMENT (2018 - 2019)This project is about typographic experimentation and research — and its meaningful application. The design is a reflection, a reaction, and an interpretation of the text concerns within the project. Initial reading and research of Wim Crouwel's manifesto (typography today, new edition, 2003) serve as the base for this design exploration. Etymology and hidden links within language was a focus within the project. The purpose of the project is to explore and reflect upon Crouwel’s words and give
