A graphic designer living and working in beautiful Zürich, Switzerland.
Interests: Parallel to my passion for art & design, l enjoy spending time outdoors, as l find fresh air helps to rejuvenate the creative mind. l enjoy socialising with my friends and family, cooking delicious recipes, travelling, listening to music, attending live concerts, reading books, swimming, and ski-ing. l feel it's important to take time to nuture friendships, and so it's a favourite past-time of mine to enjoy the company of close friends. Each piece of work featured on Looking Glass is with kind permission of the artist. No downloading or use of image is permitted without prior authorisation from the original source.
