About

I am a graphic designer specializing in typography and type design. I teach and write occasionally.

I graduated from the Master of Design in Type and Media at the The Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague, Netherlands, in 2010. In 2005, I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts at Italian Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, Italy. I received my primary education in graphic design attending "Berufsfachschule für Grafik und Werbung" in Munich, Germany, in 1999. (This school's program is today replaced by the graphic design program at Designschule Munich).

For the last ten years, I have been actively involved in the graphic design industry, working in agencies and as a freelancer. My focus is on editorial design, in particular books; I enjoy developing corporate branding projects. Besides, I design type, for which my calligraphy skills are of great help.

I have also exhibited projects, which can be situated between the boundaries of design and art. Recurring themes are culture, identity, place, habits, memory, community and self. I often present these subjects through the medium of the book or artist’s book.

Originally from Germany, I lived in many different countries, including Brazil, Italy, The Netherlands, and Portugal. I have been living in Canada for many years. Living in such different countries not only allowed me to experience different cultural environments and learn several languages, but it also greatly influenced my work.
