About

I am a senior freelance graphic designer with over 27 years of professional experience, specialising in brand identity, editorial design, and visual communication systems.

My work combines strategic thinking with a strong aesthetic sensibility, developed through long-term collaborations with agencies, cultural institutions, hospitality brands, and premium businesses. I have extensive experience in branding, magazines, custom publishing, infographics, and corporate communication, always focusing on clarity, meaning, and visual coherence.

I value a human, concept-driven approach to design, creating solutions that are not only visually strong but also purposeful and enduring. I work independently, collaborate easily with teams, and adapt seamlessly to different brand universes and project scales.
