Hello!

I could start by saying, “I’m a designer and I do this and that...” but I’d rather avoid the obvious.

Some designers like to talk about process. I prefer to talk about training.


Because, just like in sports, design isn’t only for those with talent. It’s about consistency, adaptability, technique, and the ability to keep going when there isn’t yet a clear solution.


Over the last few years, I’ve developed a passion for sports. What started as a hobby, a way to challenge myself and step away from the screen, gradually became something more. The more I train, the more I realise that the lessons I learn outside of work are the very same ones I apply as a designer.


Progress is built one training session at a time. No movement is perfected on the first attempt. No result comes without practice, discipline, and the willingness to improve. Design works in exactly the same way.


That’s why I decided to present my work through the sports that inspire me the most. Not because design is a sport, but because they share the same mindset: learning, testing, failing, adapting, and trying again.
