About

Art Director & Design Head with 10+ years of experience in branding, advertising, and creative strategy. I bridge timeless visual craft with advanced tools and generative AI to build identities that are both future-ready and production-ready.

I lead cross-disciplinary teams end-to-end—from brand identity and campaign development to packaging, editorial design, and print-quality control—while optimizing workflows for faster delivery and consistent brand fidelity. I’m comfortable working with diverse international stakeholders and turning long-term business goals into clear, compelling visual storytelling.
