Openness, honesty, curiosity, and empathy are the cornerstones when creating effective communication. I provide clear and direct opinions, honest answers, professional expertise, creativity, and quality. I am flexible, creative, and, above all, reliable. I thrive on handling tasks independently but am accustomed to working on them as a team, utilizing external personnel and suppliers. I manage all processes in the company from start to finish but, of course, have my areas of expertise and am skilled enough to know when solutions improve through collaboration. My broad experience spans offline and online marketing, design, and production for B2B, B2C, and public clients, and I continuously embrace new tools, including AI, to stay ahead.
