Advanced Design

Advanced Design is an independent publishing practice that investigates a wide variety of topics. We shed light on often-overlooked perspectives and narratives that emerge from our research. By bending the rules of design and typography and incorporating custom-made fonts, we further evoke the emotions tied to our topics and enrich the visual vernacular of our publications.

SightSound serves as a home for many of my past design projects. Free Internet media, doctored ai imagery, everyday symbols, characters, and more are incorporated within.

Each collage offers a glimpse into a world where familiar objects gain new significance, and messages emerge from the subconscious.
