I make a birthday collage for the people I love, every year, with no brief and no client. Each one starts the same way: what is this person actually like? Then I build the piece around the answer, from the cities they’ve lived in and the foods they’d order to their star sign and the inside jokes only their friends would get. Type, color, texture, and photography all follow that one idea, so no two look alike. They’re made in Adobe Express usually posted as an Instagram story, and they’re the most fun I have all year.
