Born in Armenia, grew up between Russia and the Netherlands and now living in Belgium chasing my graphical madness.

January 3, 2022

Proud to be a part of this series of designers portraits (Dutch-spoken), filmed by Sebastiaan Vandierendonck (Walbaum Brothers) at the Museum of Industry (Ghent) this summer. Here is my short story about being born in Yerevan (Armenia), moving to Moscow (Russia), spending my childhood at the Embassy of the Soviet Union in The Hague (Netherlands). Speaking four languages, having a stammer and which influence it had on my professional life (spoiler: it is OK ; ). About my graphical journey in Belgium where I live for the last 18 years, my graphic design heroes and the importance of typesetting with wood/metal type and letterpress printing for future graphic designers.
