I’m a creative, results-driven photographer and graphic designer with 25+ years of experience across multimedia, digital marketing, and print design. Since 2007, I’ve built a strong presence as a content creator and entrepreneur, owning and managing three successful websites: graphics-illustrations.com, bsilvia.com, and cats-magazine.com. I actively manage their online presence across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and X, and I specialize in SEO and GEO content optimization, crafting AI-driven platforms. I adapt creativity to technology, delivering user-centered designs and driving audience growth through innovative strategies.
