This author works as a graphic and book designer, collaborating closely with clients from a small studio to realize their visions. His approach avoids a singular style, with each project acquiring its own unique form. He aims to engage the reader or viewer through technical means, which he effectively leverages thanks to his printing experience. Beyond design, he also writes and lectures on design history.
