My background combines corporate design, product communication, marketing campaigns, and hands-on production across digital and physical channels.
I specialize in building visual systems that help technical brands communicate complex ideas clearly, from brand identities and design guidelines to presentations, campaigns, product materials, and event experiences.
Having worked both in-house and in agency environments, I am experienced in collaborating with different stakeholders and managing projects from concept to final delivery.
