Hand lettering, my gateway drug to design.

Lettering

Hand lettering has become an essential element of my design work, transforming the way I approach creativity and communication. This intricate art form adds a personal touch and uniqueness to my designs, allowing me to express ideas with elegance and and sometime playfulness. I’ve had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with talented artists and renowned companies from around the globe like Crayola. Each project not only enriches my portfolio but also expands my artistic horizons, demonstrating the power of handcrafted elements in the digital age. Whether it’s creating bespoke typography for a brand or adding an artistic flair to a piece of merchandise, hand lettering continues to inspire and shape my design journey in extraordinary ways.

Embarking on a journey of self-teaching 3D programs has opened up a new dimension for my career. Integrating my lettering into three-dimensional art not only enhances the visual appeal of my designs but also allows for an immersive experience that captivates and engages. This evolution not only elevates my artistry but also sparks endless possibilities for innovative projects in my portfolio. The fusion of traditional lettering with modern 3D elements is just the beginning of a transformative chapter in my design journey.
