Selected work
Hello there
I’m Gerry
Combining empathy, design and usually humour, I thrive on creating work that addresses meaningful issues, evokes positive emotions, and inspires people to reach their highest potential.
When not doing ID, I enjoy working out (Crossfit), playing video games (currently Diablo IV), reading (She Comes First), doing artsy stuff (digital art), going around nature with my dog, meeting with friends and sleeping :)
