About
I am a graphic designer with a strong sense of easthetics, composition and color expression. My graphic design skills encompass illustration, line art, vector art, layout design, environmental graphics and graphics for museums and exhibitions. I work with concept creation, development and storytelling. I also work a lot with exhibition design, make 2D graphic schemes, panels, mood design and informational/conceptual graphics as well as create objects that transform from 2D into 3D.
I strive to create interactive, educational and emotional graphic design based exhibitions, that incorporate shapes, colors, lights, and sounds for a multisensory experience.
I also create artistic light installations for different events and festivals. -
