Graphic Designer
The em dash is more than just a typographic symbol—it's a boundary, a bridge, an invitation to rethink space and meaning. Its ability to frame ideas while leaving room for interpretation reflects what I strive for in design: a balance between structure and flexibility, clarity and complexity.
Much like the em dash, my process navigates and integrates diverse influences—creating designs that communicate, connect, and evolve, while leaving room for interpretation and discovery.
Sinne
Description
During the summer of 2024, I had the opportunity to study abroad at ArtCenters Berlin studio location.
One aspect of Berlin’s culture that greatly influenced me was their print and book culture.
Sinne, meaning 'senses' in German, is a bookstore envisioned for Berlin, bringing together the worlds of art + design, architecture, and culinary arts.
Notes In terms of color choice, I wanted to convey the vibrancy and punchiness of a city that’s often grey and overcast.
