A London born and raised typography fiend. Growing up skateboarding he begun to appreciate the advertising and board graphics within the industry. This movement quickly transitioned into an ongoing love for graffiti and the hip hop culture. This allowed him to appreciate all letterforms and progress his talents.
Likes to make home made curries.
From a young age I was always drawing and studied in art and graphic design.
Other like minded typography friends but mainly music.
I’m nn early riser and spend most of the day on my feet but once seated I’ll always be sketching away.
Listen to music, mainly early hip hop and sketch lyrics or certain words and the artists names.
Kricket, Beats (by Dre) and Platform13 Agency.
Mainly paint markers on coloured card and Procreate on the iPad Pro.
Again I’d have to say music.
Build a profile and don’t pigeon hole yourself in one particular style.
To work with any of my music idols.

I´m addicted to asian food, chocolate, trench-coats, Frank Ccean, Sampha and James Blake, my sneakers, books, art, breakfast, grocery shopping and I‘m leaving a crumb trail!
I was always painting and drawing so it seemed like a logic career path to me.
Plants and flowers of course but traveling and my every day surroundings are always a great way to get inspired!
Starting with a great breakfast afterwards checking and answering emails, and working and preparing orders. Painting in the afternoon and working on Instagram in the evening.
Just stop forcing it and try to use the time to meet friends and have long walks!
Recently I did flowers for a big company which I really enjoyed creating. Winning a design contest to have a textile design with Urban Outfitters was amazing when I started out, or I also enjoyed creating an entire print collection for a local surfwear company!
Procreate and Photoshop.
Pinterest or I also love to check out old books on fleamarkets!
Get yourself out there and start networking!
Designing for big fashion houses like Gucci or Chloe or just have my stuff on big billboards in NYC would be awesome! Having my own home decor collection with ikea would also be perfect!
