Hello,
and welcome to my portfolio. While creating this website,
my main concerns were immediacy and user-friendliness, and I hope you will find both of those attributes fullfilled.
Interaction
of flat colors has always fascinated me. These illustrations are studies of such interactions built upon patterns and shapes, and their repetition - concepts, which I later studied within the graphic design discipline.
A selection
of my work within the discipline of Graphic Design, more speificially identity design, materials for print, interactive web-based projects, sprinkled with some motion design.
Capturing
the perfect moment is my favorite challenge with
the camera. Here, you will
find a range of studies:
from nature to man-made; whether conceptual
by design or on the go;
some were taken digitally,
while others on film.

I take a look into the history of
