I was trained as an Art Director, but I prefer to be called a Creative. With over 10 years of experience, I help brands become known, positioned, and truly valued, translating each client’s identity and values into meaningful communication. Starting from business strategy and deep client listening, I activate creativity and teamwork to turn needs into effective communication projects, defining content, channels, tools, and dedicated budgets. I manage complex projects and coordinate multidisciplinary teams and external partners, orchestrating every phase to ensure consistency, efficiency, and quality. My approach is driven by creativity, strategic thinking, planning, organization, and deadline management. This results in high-quality outcomes, both in terms of achieving objectives and ensuring strong internal team satisfaction. Lateral thinking and responsiveness make me a strong problem solver, focused on results and collaboration. Tight deadlines don’t intimidate me, they motivate me.
