Selected Projects
[← / → keys]01 / 05
A publication by Mudar Al Khufash on the neoliberal co-optation of queer masculinities. I created the illustrations and animations that run through it — building a visual language that could hold the tension between corporate aesthetics and queer critique without resolving it neatly.The challenge was making images that didn't illustrate the argument literally, but felt like they belonged to the same uncomfortable territory the text lives in.
“TODAY'S HOMOSEXUAL SUBJECTIVITIES WILL NEED TO DO MORE THAN ASSUME THAT OUR COCKSUCKING MAKES US RADICAL “ BEN MILLER
An illustration series about online dating specifically the gap between what it promises and what it actually feels like. Everyday objects become stand-ins for that experience: incomplete, slightly awkward, quietly ironic.
While dating apps can be playful and full of potential, they often carry a subtle sense of incompleteness like a puzzle missing pieces or a conversation that fades before it fully unfolds.
A visual story about looking for a home in Berlin over two years. Told in three parts, through the small objects that mark the stages — grocery bags, then paper bags, then an IKEA trip. The kind of progress that's only visible in retrospect.
It’s told in three parts, capturing the little moments that shaped the search—progress, setbacks, and all the small but meaningful steps along the way. 
A visual collaboration with Berlin-based producer Jonah P. for his release Terpenoid. I developed the visual identity and artwork — working from the music itself, trying to find images that had the same weight and low-frequency pull as the sound.
Jonah P. is a Berlin-based sonic architect, weaving slinky rhythms, moody swagger, and cavernous sub-pressure into deep, hypnotic soundscapes. 
Personal and editorial work from 2022 to now. No single brief — just images made to think through form, mood, and what illustration can do when it's not serving a caption.
About
Berlin-based visual designer and 3D artist. Started out in projection mapping and audiovisual work in Istanbul (Ouchhh, Nohlab), then moved into illustration and motion after a design degree in Berlin. Most of the work starts from something ordinary a mood, a routine, an argument with a dating app and ends up somewhere more considered than it has any right to be. Off-screen: mostly on a bike, humming something half-remembered, or somewhere in the middle of a book he'll finish eventually.
