Approach

Graphic Design is political.
My Choices are political.
I always knew I wanted to create.

I want different cultures, minoritys and genders to be heard trough design in a way that lets them feel seen. It drives me to dig deeper into context and stories.

I like to start and experiment while I am in the process.

I always knew I wanted to create. Whether it was with paper, paint, pens, markers, brushes, scissors, glue, feathers, wood, photography, printmaking or graphic design.

When I was fourteen I chose to attend a highschool for interior architecture and carpentry work at
HTL-Mödling which laid the foundation of my design practice. While studying printmaking in art school I also picked graphic design as my main workshop course next to prinmaking. The Kunstschule Wien had a more analogue approach to graphic design which helped me to think of printmaking as a tool for my graphic design approach. I am now at the Meister*innenschule at the Graphische Wien for communication design to establish my knowledge and skills.

I grab my phone when reflections meet my eye, a fabric blowing in the wind, an interesting font on a sun-umbrella on vacation, colours in the sky, rigid cracks in the street pavements, shimmering water, seeing the eaten meal and the traces it leaves on a plate as a pattern - the contexts of the landscapes I am surrounded with. I then create a new story with these contexts without forgetting the existing ones.

I also get a lot of creative energy from the transdisciplinary association studio kollision I founded with friends in 2023. We want to collide with the people, disciplines, materials, social norms, communities and ressources that surround our landscapes of today. Working in a collective motivates me, drives me and also lets me to grow in my communication skills over and over again.
