Hola! I'm the founder of Amati Design Studio, and aim to create strong visual identities to reveal the multitudes of persons that make up LGBTQIA+ communities. I work for and queer entrepreneurs, inclusive organizations and LGBTQIA+ projects!

How does being queer inform your work?

Joy and fluidity drive my process. I think living and participating in queer communities has allowed me to trust the process and my creativity.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

I very much love the typographic work of Bye Bye Binary, a French-Belgian font studio.

Which other queer people inspire you?

Local queer gatherings and actions are my main inspiration, visually and politically.
