A man in a black suit, with long curly hair, standing with hands in pockets, in a parking garage with green lighting, surrounded by scattered playing cards on the ground.

In this moment…

you are creating.

Beyond the world of language lies our solitude, understanding, and the ability to create. Have fun. Make it simple, make it excellent. Go the extra mile, to depths unknown. Make it bad. Sometimes things end up in nothing. That’s okay. I like to draw sometimes, just to draw. I like to write paragraphs like this, maybe I’ll erase it and do a proper one…

Or I’ll just keep it like this.

“More than a case, it’s a statement.”

Commercial Work: Photography

Three young women taking a selfie together, one woman in the foreground held a phone with a leopard print case, while two others stand behind her, smiling and posing for the photo.

After finishing the photography for the campaign, I decided to

send some test ideas for the typography and editing.

Although they never made the final cut,  they showcase my commitment to experimenting and presenting ideas.
