Senior Graphic Designer with 15+ years of experience delivering branding, packaging, editorial and print communication for international brands, manufacturing companies, cultural organisations and nonprofit clients. I translate complex or incomplete requirements into clear visual concepts and practical, production-ready solutions. I independently manage projects from brief and concept development through prepress and final artwork, with strong expertise in multilingual layouts and brand consistency. I also use generative AI for concept exploration, visual prototyping, image creation and product visualisation when traditional photography or 3D production is impractical or too costly.
