I believe good design doesn't just make the world work better but helps it feel better as well. The best part of my work in communication design is learning from other passionate people and being the link between their movement and the world. The balance between designing what works and disrupting it just enough is what keeps me on my feet.

I was invited by Looking China to make a film in Xinjiang on their diverse food, landscapes and culture. My group consisted of 10 filmmakers from the BRICS countries (Russia, South Africa, Brazil and India). We made our films in Xinjiang and then attended the closing ceremony in Beijing. I got to meet such incredible people and travel 1-3 tier cities in China, as well as visit the Great Wall!

I've been redesigning books that I love, as well as books that are mis-marketed. Some authors actually saw my work on Instagram and shared it with others, so that's amazing!

My goal is to read 50 books this year. I've read around 30 by now. I'm particularly interested in non-fiction, memoirs and climate writing. Still, a lot of my favorite media is fiction.
