Cover Letter

This is my creative playground. Hopefully, there's something here to brighten up one's day — from poster designs to The Awful Art of Failed Taxidermy.

I'm a Tallinn- and London-based all-around Graphic Designer & Front-End Developer with more than 10 years of experience in the field. I highly respect straightforward communication both in new and old-school media, trying to follow the ethos of less is more both on screen and paper. And I clap hands with the AI.

Posters & Print

Having worked closely with Creative Directors and print handlers, I've laid out business cards, catalogues, outdoor collateral and packaging.

Branding & Identity

I dig memorable type-based branding. Using basic colours has its benefits for the budget-sensitive client: a minimalistic approach might free resources for better print materials, or even letterpress for maximum posh.

Digital Design

Think of mobile web and responsive emails like a folded newspaper. The same styling, typography and overall quality have to be felt between the fingers.

Partnership & Awards

Depending on the schedule I'm always interested in creative projects, start-up plans and art extravaganza. I'm also looking for (independent) writers and publishers who are in need of illustrations - naive animals, creatures, noise and cityscapes. Something for children's stories, poetry collections or grim fantasy.

If you think we might hit the same note, let me know about your ideas by my email.
