about the archive

hi, i’m
Amaaya

I’m a visual designer and artist interested in the space between fine art, editorial design and visual storytelling. My work usually begins with images, memories, textures and small details that feel personal, and then turns into layouts, paintings, magazines, identities or experiments.

This archive is a record of how I think through art and design — slowly, visually and intuitively. I like work that feels considered but not too perfect: minimal, soft, tactile, slightly strange and full of small decisions.

agency

design decisions / editorial design / layout / image-making / fine art

agency is a magazine based on the design decisions I take. It explores choice as a visual act — what to include, what to remove, when to create rhythm, where to leave space, and how composition gives work its own voice.
