I'm a creative designer and aspiring art director with a strong foundation in digital storytelling, branding, and illustration. I'm pursuing a Master’s in Digital Art Direction at Istituto Marangoni Milan. I blend conceptual thinking with design precision to craft visuals that are bold, clear, and strategically aligned. I have experience across social, experiential, and digital formats with brands like Cappellini and Trussardi. In my current role as Brand Design Intern at Afro Fashion Association, Milan, I shape and maintain the brand's visual identity across touchpoints, lead social visuals, and ensure assets stay consistent and on-brand. I thrive in fast-paced creative workflows and collaborative environments, and my freelance work in character design and comics has sharpened my ability to tell stories through visuals across different mediums.
