Research, Design & Web | trinco • collective 2025 - Present

Through trincocollective.com, I work on web design, print publications, and archive projects. The studio builds websites, edits zines, and conducts research concurrently, keeping structural clarity and material texture central to every project.

[ 02 ] Writing & Research
Research Framework & Writing Practice: My research focuses on aesthetic theory, film philosophy, and written form. Projects range from academic papers on spatial layout and Kantian aesthetics to short fiction about daily routines and physical experience. This foundation feeds directly into my editorial projects, film reviews, and brand copywriting.
