Design Playground

As a lifelong student of design and creative storytelling I love to experiment with color and type outside of professional work. Check out some studies I recently got up to!

Exploring Type Anatomy

This study looked at the anatomy of type and how to manipulate it to tell a story. I worked with the counters, apexes and other aspects of a letter in isolation to understand each component's potential!

Manipulating Stems

Color Experiments

After studying color theory and deep dives into Adobe ID and TinEye, these studies using oil paints and mixed media explored the capability of color off-screen. Apart from the studies, I have developed a personal swatch library as an analog brainstorming tool!
