Labas! Hey! Wie geht's?

My background in graphic design, interdisciplinary, trans-disciplinary, and critical (contextual) design has provided me with an abundance of tools I love putting to use through diverse, long-lasting collaborations.

My approach is a long-standing commitment to critically elaborate on contemporary graphic design, with the intent of improving my pool of knowledge and delivering work that encapsulates stories.
