Expertise
Since 2006, I’ve co-run an internationally recognized graphic arts studio called Sonnenzimmer with my wife Nadine Nakanishi. We produce commissioned work for a variety of clients as well as producing our own publications and exhibitions.

Studio in Graphic Design
Research Interests
My work with Sonnenzimmer explores the contemporary and historic impact of the “graphic impulse” through publishing, exhibitions, graphic design, and performance. While we work in an array of media, our focus is on triangulating a deeper understanding of the role of graphic expression at large. In addition to our self-driven work, we actively engage in commissioned projects aiming to reshape preconceived notions of the graphic arts.
