A personal practice. A broader perspective.
At Freaks 4U Gaming, leading the design department meant making decisions about people, priorities and quality alongside the work itself. My current role at FACTORY-C and my own studio keep me close to client conversations, visual concepts and production.
Lettering has shaped the way I see design. Spending time drawing letters made me more aware of proportion, rhythm and the small differences that give something its character. That awareness gradually became part of how I approach all my work, from an identity to the layout of a page. Teaching lettering has added another perspective: putting instinct into words and seeing how differently other people approach the same shape.
