I believe that a good logo, beyond being visually appealing and practical, should posses a strong personality that makes it hard to forget. To achieve this, I always begin with a strong concept, supported by a thoughtful process that allows ideas to evolve and take shape on paper.

Art is the release of my emotions—a visual representation of my present moment and my place within society.

My lifelong passion.

Illustration has been my passion for as long as I can remember. It was what led me to study architecture, though I soon realized the field relied much more on technical drafting than I had envisioned. A few years after graduating, I returned to hand drawing whenever I could, which eventually inspired me to start my clothing brand—at first simply an excuse to keep drawing. As the brand grew, I took on many roles: developing the brand book, designing logos, and creating hundreds of graphic pieces for each new collection.

How it started

Over time, my illustrations grew more complex, and more recently I began exploring new techniques such as acrylic and gouache painting. Along the way, other small brands—and even larger businesses—started approaching me to commission illustration and graphic design work.

DISCIPLINE

Painting, illustration and graphic design

A good logo should posses a strong personality, one that makes it hard to forget.

Much of my illustration work is inspired by pop culture—movies, television, music, and more. I also draw great influence from contemporary artists such as Adrian Tomine, Daniel Clowes, and Jean-Philippe Delhomme, among others. In my own work, I aim to create scenes that invite the viewer to imagine something beyond what is immediately visible.

More recently, I have turned to painting, exploring gouache as a medium. This shift has opened up a richer palette, pushing me to use colors I had never considered in my illustration practice.

Digital Illustration

My first commission came when I was 8 years old—a drawing of Hercules for a schoolmate. Just like that Hercules, 22 years later someone asked me to draw something for their brand. Then another person asked, and another, and it kept going.

What I enjoy most about this kind of work is the different level of commitment it requires. Plus, it lets me explore themes and approaches in illustration and graphic design that I don’t usually get to in my personal work.

Branding

More recently, I began approaching branding with greater intention. Just as a logo should possess a strong personality, it cannot emerge from a weak concept. Every aspect of a project must be grounded in clarity, ensuring that each element communicates exactly what we want it to.
