Ready To Be Your
New Creative Leader

SUMMARY

As an innovative Creative Manager with 15+ years of hands-on experience in graphic design, I’ve developed creative solutions across various industries, excelling in both traditional and digital media.

An accomplished and motivational leader, I excel in managing crossfunctional teams comprising designers, developers, photographers, and marketers. I have successfully instituted processes that enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness. My expertise spans company branding, packaging design, and the transformation of marketing campaigns into compelling visual designs.

Capable of independently managing the entire design process, from initial concept to final presentation, while also excelling in specialized roles within an agency or corporate structure.
