I am giving an online 2-days workshop (Wed 22 Apr 2026 and Wed 29 Apr 2026): 'ENHANCING THE BASICS: Tools for Type'.
A two-day online workshop organized by INTL International.
Basic knowledge of Adobe Illustrator is a must.
Ticket: £120, limited spaces available.
I highly recommend participating as a duo. :)
My workshop explores how to strengthen a typographic poster through self-made tools. Participants create custom brushes, build a visual library, and use these tools to enhance a strictly limited black and white composition, first individually and then collaboratively. Working within fixed typographic constraints, they expand structure and tone through color, strokes, and precise interventions. All brushes and resulting posters are gathered into a shared library and digital publication, forming a collective archive of the workshop’s process and outcomes.

‘If you only knew the magnificence of the 3,6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe’ said Nikola Tesla. According to him, these numbers represent the paths through which energy and information manifest themselves to form the material world, attributing them to a superior consciousness in comparison to the others. My design for Our Sister has a main focus on 3,6,9 and might become your lucky garment. 🫣 A frequency untold, a gateway to unfold … Everyone needs a spiritual accountant! 😘🤍🤍🤍👋🏻

Talk and Workshop at Google Visual Design Summit
Tomorrow (17 Nov. 2021) I am giving an online talk and workshop at Google VISD Summit by @googledesign. It is an honor to be surrounded by all these talented creatives. Aaaaaand super excited about the fact that someone like @saewwwon and her @_sunsong_ project gets a platform here. It gave me a smile on my face to read her name. 🖤
The VISD Summit is a set of events, talks, and creative conversations put on by a group of creatives (Visual designers, illustrators, animators, typographers, etc) from across Google’s product design teams. Their goal is to foster strong creative connections between Google designers, to drive inspiration from diverse and design-adjacent spaces, and to support each other emotionally and professionally. By investing time and energy into unique creative gatherings, they are helping make Google’s products become even better and, hopefully, even more beautiful.
