A graphic designer, lecturer and researcher based in Tel Aviv. A graduate of the Visual Communication department, Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, holding an M.A degree from the Interdisciplinary Program in the Arts from Tel Aviv University and a PhD candidate in the department of communication and journalism in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. My dissertation focuses on visual representation of gender in urban signage.
