Hi, I am Ionut.

An NYC-based Romanian designer, art director, and illustrator, passionate about lettering and smart, beautifully crafted design. I am interested in combining design with illustration, particularly for lifestyle, fashion, culture, and tech, where I can infuse problem-solving with elegance & a dash of quirk.

My work is fueled by kombucha, music, and an unhealthy amount of mags, zines, and digital platforms. In my 13+ years of working & freelancing, I enjoyed creating visual experiences for both established and startup companies.

I am always interested in learning new skills and working across various mediums that blend art with technology. Some of my areas of expertise are branding, web, editorial, art direction, packaging, lettering, and illustration.

Please reach out for a detailed PDF portfolio, CV, and inquiries via email.
