Graphic designer 🎨 | Creative experiments | Always making something.
I’m a 24-year-old graphic designer living in Brooklyn, New York. I enjoy visual storytelling, illustration, typography, and experimenting with new creative tools. My feed includes personal projects, design inspiration, lessons from freelance work, and occasional glimpses into everyday life in the city. I’m building my career one project at a time and always looking for new perspectives that challenge the way I think.

Gowanus Print Lab’s latest risograph zines are turning local street scenes into tiny booklets that fit in your pocket. The layered inks give each page a texture you can almost feel with your fingertips. Https://exa.ai/library/places?q=56f910b48e84b746
Watching friends turn short animation loops into riso-printed sequences has me rethinking how motion can live on paper. The two-color layers give the frames a stutter that feels oddly alive. Https://luckyrisograph.press/riso-animation-ws-zinehug
Some of the most alive spaces in Brooklyn right now are the ones that open their doors to whoever walks by. Tiny red gallery boxes, park pop-ups, and neighborhood studios keep the conversation going between artists and strangers. Https://wagmag.org/openings.php
Brooklyn storefront lettering still leans on that quiet, no-nonsense energy. The best ones feel like an honest conversation with the block rather than a sales pitch. Https://mindsparklemag.com/designs/how-brooklyns-storefront-signage-shaped-greenpoint-sans-a-free-typeface
