Forner’s design style is defined by its simplicity, balance, and restraint, often characterized by clean lines, soft color palettes, and an understated yet impactful use of typography. Her approach draws inspiration from modernist principles, where form follows function, as well as from the timeless elegance of mid-century design.

Additionally, her work often evokes a sense of serenity and precision that may be inspired by contemporary minimalist artists and architects. Forner’s ability to fuse these influences into something fresh and modern has helped her create distinct, immersive brand identities that are both visually compelling and deeply functional.
