This is a small selection of books that shaped how I think, create, and approach marketing, art, and life. They inspire my work and worldview, and I keep coming back to them whenever I need fresh perspective or grounding.
A simple, practical guide to design basics: typography, color, and layout. I open it whenever I need inspiration or a reminder of the fundamentals.
A clear, visual guide to branding with real-world case studies. I love how beginner-friendly it is-if you’re curious about how brands are built step by step, this book makes it all click.
This one really shook me. It’s a powerful call for marketers to step up, stop greenwashing, and use our skills for real climate action. Eye-opening and inspiring.
A philosophical conversation on freedom and self-acceptance, inspired by Adlerian psychology. It’s not always an easy read, but it makes you question how you see yourself and the world.
I bought this book at the British Museum on my birthday trip to London-it was love at first sight. It explores the golden ratio, sacred geometry, and the patterns that link art, science, and nature. Close to my heart.
A playful yet smart journey through 800 years of art history. I love how it combines storytelling with visuals to show the big picture of creativity through time.
This book connects branding with digital design and interaction. It’s one I dip into when I want inspiration on how strategy meets user experience.
