Identity systems built for structural coherence, not surface effect.

Core Position

Core Position

I design and construct identity systems under constraint. Color, grid logic, typographic hierarchy, and symbolic elements are treated as functional variables, not stylistic choices.

In parallel, my mixed-media practice applies the same logic to physical material—using compression, distortion, and resistance to test how structure persists under pressure.

Form is not applied; it emerges from internal logic rather than trend or expression.

Structural Logic

Structure precedes expression.
Form is allowed only if it holds under constraint.
If it collapses without decoration, it fails.

Material is not a surface. It records pressure, use, and resistance. What remains visible is what survives.

Type is architecture. Rhythm replaces style. Alignment carries meaning when ornament is removed.
