Design Student · Visual Explorer

Ideas in draft.
Design in motion.

I'm a curious design student building visual identities, interfaces and experiments where research meets instinct. This portfolio is my evolving studio wall: unfinished by nature, intentional by design.

STUDIO NOTE #07
01 / About

A student with
a messy sketchbook.

Design education as a playground: observe, question, prototype, critique, repeat.

I turn curiosity into visual systems people can understand, feel and remember.

I'm currently studying communication and digital design, with a focus on visual storytelling and human-centered interfaces. I enjoy the space between a rough pencil mark and a polished screen, the place where the strongest ideas usually appear.

My work balances concept, composition and experimentation. I'm especially interested in identity systems, editorial layouts, interaction design and creative technology.

02 / Selected work

Three experiments
worth opening.

Academic briefs, self-initiated experiments and collaborative explorations, presented as working stories rather than a list of deliverables.

BRAND SYSTEM · UNIVERSITY BRIEF

Local Frequency

A flexible identity for a student-led culture festival, built around layered type, bright signals and modular event graphics.

EDITORIAL · 2026

Green Room

A visual essay exploring everyday sustainable choices through playful data compositions.

UI EXPLORATION · SELF INITIATED

Afterimage

An experimental interface for collecting fleeting visual references and turning them into moodboards.

03 / Process

Think. Make.
Break. Repeat.

My process is intentionally circular. Every outcome creates the next question.

01 / NOTICE

Research

Collect references, interview the brief, map patterns and find the question underneath the obvious one.

02 / PLAY

Sketch

Generate quickly. Mix type, shape, material and language before deciding what deserves polish.

03 / TEST

Prototype

Build enough to make the idea tangible, then invite critique early rather than late.

04 / REFINE

Craft

Reduce noise, tune hierarchy and turn the strongest experiment into a coherent design system.

04 / Toolkit

Things I like
to make with.

No percentage scores: just a living constellation of tools, methods and visual instincts.

Currently exploring: motion systems, generative visuals, accessible interfaces and the relationship between physical materials and digital experiences.

Learning mindset: I value feedback, iteration and making ideas visible early.

05 / Education

experiments began.
