01 / BACKGROUND

Designing across disciplines.
Thinking in systems.

I’m a Senior Graphic Designer working across art direction, visual communication and UX/UI. I shape open briefs into visual concepts, coherent systems and digital experiences, with an industrial-design perspective on structure and function.

02 / CURRENT PRACTICE

Designing information people can actually use.

At Jacobs, I develop visual communication for internal teams and external clients. Starting with raw content or an open brief, I propose the format, structure, hierarchy and visual direction, then carry the work through to delivery. My projects include publications, presentations, interactive PDFs and Foleon experiences, supported by original illustration, infographics and data visualisation.

Confidential corporate work is not reproduced in this portfolio. The selected case studies show projects I can share publicly.

01

Publications & reports

I turn raw content into a readable editorial structure, defining grids, typographic hierarchy and the relationship between text, imagery and data.

02

Interactive documents & Foleon

I turn dense content into responsive publications and interactive reports, carrying a clear editorial system across every screen and touchpoint.

03

UX/UI & information architecture

I design information architecture, UX flows, interfaces and prototypes for digital services—making complex content easier to navigate.

04

Visual systems & creative direction

I develop and present visual concepts, explain the reasoning behind design decisions and build a consistent direction across illustrations, icons, diagrams, publications and presentation templates.

03 / PERSPECTIVE

From physical products
to visual systems.

Industrial design and my Academy of Fine Arts background taught me to think beyond the surface — about structure, function, behaviour and visual meaning.

That perspective still shapes how I work: research the context, develop the idea, build the system and refine the detail — whether the outcome is a report, interface, identity, illustration or physical object.

04 / WHAT I BRING

Clarity without losing depth.

Concept

Find the right visual direction.

I ask the right questions, map the real need and turn it into concepts, references and an art direction that holds across every deliverable.

Information design

Make complex information make sense.

I create original infographics, data visualisations, diagrams and icon systems, building each from the content so the visuals clarify rather than decorate.

Editorial

Give long-form content its own rhythm.

Grid systems, typographic hierarchy, careful spacing and InDesign baseline grids keep long documents structured and readable.

Digital

Shape clear journeys across screens.

I design information architecture, UX/UI and prototypes for websites, interactive documents and digital products, connecting content structure with the visual system.

Delivery

Carry the system through to the last detail.

I anticipate the connected materials a project needs—such as a presentation template—and take the design from concept through accessible, production-ready delivery.

05 / EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION

A physical-design foundation.
A visual-systems practice.
