About Me

I am a Creative Art Director & Graphic Designer with 25 years of experience in advertising, design and creative communication. For me, design is a way of life, a constant dialogue between inspiration, aesthetics and innovation.

I stand out for my creativity, strategic thinking, ability to inspire teams through brainstorming & for connecting design with storytelling and creative writing.

I have worked in advertising agencies and within the toy industry, leading projects from concept to final execution. In addition, I also work as a freelance designer, collaborating with brands and creative teams on custom projects that require a fresh perspective and tailor-made solutions.
My passion is turning ideas into visuals that inspire-shaping concepts and transforming creative vision into reality.
