About

"In the fragmented echoes of design, where form collides with absurdity, tension arises between meaning and nonsense, creation and chaos, structure and its undoing. Typography stutters, shapes rebel, and logic dissolves—clarity emerges in disarray, humor in the void, and a fleeting beauty in a graphic language that builds and dismantles itself in the same breath."

B. 1992 London, England
