Hello there, I'm Billy—a curious designer and creative thinker with a love for print (and music). I strive to promote positivity and purpose through visual identities, typography, editorial and printed artifacts.
My mantra consists of research and simplicity—a formidable partnership that I believe has the capabilities to solve any creative problem.
