About me
My practice ranges from hand-drawn illustration and graphic design to animation. I prefer hand-made work as I think it holds the promise of uniqueness and communicates more meaning. My method is both abstract and commercial, my style is versatile and textured. As one of my role models, Agnes Denes, said: “Art is a reflection on life and an analysis of its structure. As such, art should be a great moving force shaping the future.” I believe that art and design can challenge convention, inspire action, ignite movement, build communities and heal us.

  • Drip the Drop-Wateraid Campaign
    Drip the Drop-Wateraid CampaignThis animation (W.I.P.) represents a starting point for a campaign for the WaterAid Camping "Thirsty World". "Drop", the main character is the personification of our water mass consumption, when comparing to the Third World countries. The aim of the claymation is to make people more aware of this serious problem and act upon it by being more conscious about their water usage and hopefully to donate for the cause.

This project focused on bringing one back to the reality of real life, even if that means for a short amount oftime. It was a group project in which we all startedby tracking our own screen usage.
