Confronting memories

Open spread from Confronting Memories showing the volume's body text layout.

An international initiative on historical dialogue and post-conflict education.

Vilnius Book Fair 2024

I drew the floor maps from scratch and designed each page individually.

A small job with a strict constraint: someone holding the leaflet in a crowded hall has to find what they're looking for.

Open studio & friends talk

Two event campaigns for Klimaite & Klimaite. The static designs were theirs. My job was to bring them into motion for socials.

Restraint is the harder part of motion design - the typography was already doing the work, so the animation had to support it without competing.

Final note

Working inside someone else's system is its own discipline. Each piece had to sit within the studio's broader language, adapted to the specific format and audience it had to serve.
