HI &
WELCOME TO MY WEIRD LITTLE
CREATIVE WORLD
i’m mal, a visual communications designer, mixed media artist, and storyteller.
throughout any project i do, i aim to leave things better than i found them. i see curiously, live by sustainable and healthier alternatives of living + being, explore the fine line between order + chaos [where art + design meet], and might bend the rules when the rules don’t makes sense.

HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THIS WEIRDO
i’ve always been a daydreamer; I explode with ideas, think deeply, weirdly, and stand wildly outside the box, and try to appreciate the simple things in life.
growing up, i organized my world around me as much as possible to make life more clear, more direct, and generally easier. naturally, i acquired a visual communications degree and quickly fell in love with any kind of layout work, particularly books and ‘zines.
later, i started thinking about experience design in both a digital and physical way and how important this is to the act of creating, brought my visual storytelling skills back to words on a page, and began messing around with mixed media visual art.
at this point, i don’t like to limit my creative work and believe it’s all connected: everything is designed, everything has a story, and visual art has a place in it all.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ’THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE’
QUICK FACTS
lead with humility, not ego
curiosity first
mistakes are just happy accidents
organized chaos [not afraid to experiment, obsessed with details, loves a plan, and always keeps the big picture in mind]
the weirder, the better [authenticity is in and being uncool is the only way to be cool]
