Graphic Design was the first creative field I studied, and I think its influence can be felt in how I have approached other disciplines like illustration and teaching. My style is characterised by strong lines, soft-hued colours and a leaning towards geometric shapes.
I’m a self-taught lettering artist. Just like with any image, I’ve found that the quality of a piece of lettering is determined by the basic principles of design, like balance, emphasis and movement. For me, lettering combines the structure of graphic design with the freedom of illustration, which I love.
