Clarity over clutter
The strongest design says one thing loudly. I cut until only the essential remains.
My story
From a print desk to brand systems.
I started in editorial design, setting type for magazines where every millimetre mattered. That obsession with grid, rhythm, and hierarchy never left — it just grew into whole brand systems. Today I bring the same discipline to identities, packaging, and posters, where clarity is the difference between a brand people glance at and one they remember.
I've art-directed two independent magazines, built brand systems for retailers and cultural institutions, and seen my work pinned to studio walls across Europe. In 2014 I founded Grid so I could work with a small number of clients at a time and stay close to the craft — no layers, no hand-offs, no diluted intent.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me letterpress printing, hunting down vintage Swiss posters, and quietly re-kerning every menu I'm handed.

What I believe
Principles that guide the work.
Systems, not one-offs
A single nice poster ages fast. I build languages and rules that scale across every touchpoint.
Craft is non-negotiable
Spacing, weight, and rhythm aren't decoration — they're how a brand earns trust.
Close to the work
I take few clients so I can stay hands-on from first sketch to final print file.
Honest, always
I'll tell you what the work needs, even when it's not what you hoped to hear.
Type leads
Typography does the heavy lifting. Get the type right and the rest tends to follow.
Let's make something bold.
If you're building a brand or publication that deserves real craft, I'd love to hear about it.
