Bio

I've been freelancing for most of my career, shaping client identity across a wide range of e-commerce and small business projects: branding, websites, products, packaging, and other necessities. A large part of my practice is rooted in typography, event visuals, and print design.

My interest in typography is what pulled me into the Pavidlas project, my master's at VDA, a multi-year visual research into the publishing of Lithuanian underground freedom fighters. What started as curiosity about their letterforms turned into reconstructing their printing methods by hand, and from there into a wider interest in analog process, conservation, and history.

I got my bachelor's degree in graphic design at Falmouth University, UK, and my master's degree in graphic design at Vilnius Academy of Arts.

Alongside freelance, I've worked as an intern at Trafi and andstudio.

Most recently, I participated in a Lithuanian Ministry of Culture project: Dizaino Sparnai. There I have worked on a rebranding and web renewal for Lietuvos Atgaja, one of the oldest summer camps in Lithuania.
