This portfolio showcases a selection of my past and ongoing banknote design projects. Each piece starts as a study of real currency from around the world, examining how different countries use engraving, geometry, color, and symbolism to convey trust, value, and identity. From there, I reinterpret those elements to fit new ideas, modern themes, or entirely fictional concepts.

Many of my projects involve reimagining existing currencies for alternative uses, such as cryptocurrency, commemorative issues, or conceptual city-state notes. Bitcoin, in particular, has been a recurring focus. I enjoy exploring how a decentralized digital asset might be represented through traditional security printing aesthetics, blending classic banknote language with modern and experimental visuals.
I do not come from a formal design background. Everything shown here is self-taught, built through years of studying historical banknotes, experimenting with tools, and refining techniques through trial and error. This site is less about finished perfection and more about the process, curiosity, and craftsmanship behind each design.
