Over the years, my practice has evolved at the intersection of high-craft visual identity, physical textiles, and digital experiences. I design cohesive visual languages that tell a story across every medium.

NEW SITE 🌀
I’ve created a new portfolio for my work across design art and tech.

I wanted a space that felt as dynamic as my process. It’s a work in progress, designed to be a place where I can showcase new experiments and high-craft projects the moment they’re ready.

Current focus: Im actively looking for new projects and clients.

It’s messy, it’s moving, and it’s finally live. Check it out, spread the word :)

New work. The identity for Garden of Maia is built on a balance of opposites: sharp, square details to represent the technical side of landscaping, paired with rounded edges for a friendly, approachable user experience.
It’s tech-driven landscaping, rooted in a human touch.

Created in real time listening to my friend's track — - pure instinct, no plan. Like the automatism the Surrealists used.

Under 10 minutes, start to finish.

This is a personal project. Artworks will be sold to raise funds for artists.

Garden of Maia — a brand identity concept I developed independently, and the version I believed in.

The brief: Aesop meets IKEA.

The wordmark is cubic, pixelated, a little unexpected — something that says tech product while still feeling alive. Legible at any size, fun to print large or small, it holds its own on a white background or sitting inside the gradient palette. Quirky but polished. The kind of mark that makes you look twice.

The colour system moves — gradients over solids, tone shifting into tone. And the imagery direction followed that same logic: flowers slightly out of focus, edges soft, colour bleeding into colour. Dreamlike. Not pretty in a predictable way. The kind of image that makes you feel like you just woke up in a garden you've never been to.

This one stays mine. ✦ directors cut. We changed the name to Tuin van Maia.

New website coming soon. if you're building something worth making properly, let's talk.

Working on something very special. ✨

I’m deep in the process of building a new portfolio, new collections for my collaborators, and another international clothing collaboration dropping this spring.

Plus, I’m finally painting again and busy with some new pieces. I’ve also become obsessed with kinetic type—adding movement to my long list of skills 🤓

On the personal side, a late neurodivergent (ADHD & RSD) diagnosis has been a massive realization. And is slowly changing my life. It’s been a very long, hard road, but also such a profound relief.

Meeting so many creative women going through the same journey has been incredibly humbling—and exciting! If I had known, oh god, it would have spared me so much trauma 😅 But I am here now, and that's all that matters. What happens next!

For my entire life, it was a lonely experience living with a mind that felt like it was against me every single day. But now? I finally understand the way I’m wired. I LOVE my brain. And I LOVE myself more than anything.

So grateful I get to wake up every day and have so much to offer...

✌🏼
