about me

co-founder, head of product and design at katalista.

looking back, my professional journey has four major stepping stones:

1. the laws of good design
trained as an architect, i first had to master the form of visual design – typography, gestalt, layout… 

i did this studying modernism with a team of young designers at my first studio: nu, where we designed and developed websites and webapps (2006–2011).

2. design as speech
then i realized that great design is in the differences – not the generic ‘good form’, but the form that best solves a particular problem and expresses a specific project, client, discourse.

i developed this approach while leading a design team at bamboo magazine (2010–2017) and at my second studio – lógos, where we designed from signage and print to brand and digital (2012–2021).
