I’m an independent graphic designer and typographer with 15+ years of experience in international advertising agencies in Amsterdam and Geneva. I’ve collaborated with global and local brands (watchmaking, FMCG, institutions) to shape visual identities, editorial layouts, and product packaging. I design with a focus on clarity and impact, delivering strong branding and compelling campaigns across print and digital channels. I bring complementary skills in web development, motion design, and 3D modeling, which allow me to contribute across the project lifecycle. I’m creative and rigorous, always pushing briefs beyond their initial scope while delivering polished, effective design solutions.
