Creative Practice

Exhibitions, Collaborations & Process

Collage Work

Curiosity and continuous exploration are the tenants of my making. Geometry first and color forward, each collage is a filter for making sense of the world we live in.

Exhibitions & Collaborations

The exhibition space often isolates Graphic Design creations from the real world, from context (commercial, cultural, historic) and from the function that is necessary for reading and understanding them. I am interested in creating conditions that address this.
