I am a Romanian-born Artworker and Graphic Designer with extensive experience delivering print and digital production across local, regional, and global campaigns. I specialize in multi-format layouts, prepress readiness, color management, image retouching, and typography refinement, always ensuring brand consistency and high-quality outputs under tight deadlines. I speak native Romanian and fluent English, and I enjoy cross-cultural collaboration, automation via JavaScript/ExtendScript, and exploring the intersection of art, folklore, and technology. Beyond the desk, I’m passionate about design systems and visual storytelling that resonate across markets. When I’m not designing, I practice skiing and mountain biking, and I keep learning front-end development to stay ahead in the evolving world of digital production.
