Empowered by simplicity.
Simplicity doesn't have intrinsic value – it gives value. Amplifying essential parts of your brand gives it power and makes it easier to connect with. People like brands that cut the crap. I strive to elevate brands, create with purpose and design the essential things that really matter. My experience includes creating brands for small start-ups as well as global corporations with over 10 000 employees.

Understand
I start off by being nosey — researching, asking questions and workshopping to ensure that I understand your needs. This allows me to set our boundaries and define the scope of the next two phases.
Create
I create concepts and ideas anchored in my understanding from phase one. I present concept-driven answers to your challenge or brief. The final phase can only succeed if a strong concept leads the way forward.
Design
Lastly – I bring the concept to life by crafting solid and sustainable design solutions. With meticulous attention to detail and a profound belief that clear, simple and beautiful design can move mountains and solve big problems.
