I am a senior creative leader with 15+ years across global brand work and editorial publishing, currently leading global creative strategy for Oriflame Cosmetics. I’ve built and run an internal creative studio of 43 people across 12 markets, delivering world-class work across digital surfaces, campaigns, and brand systems. I’m drawn to work at Above for the intersection of design, strategy, and technology, and for the chance to bring senior brand-creative perspective into a multidisciplinary innovation environment. I’m curious and hands-on, exploring AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, FireFly) in ideation, and I love shaping cross-functional teams that turn briefs into emotionally resonant platforms. I’m multilingual, internationally oriented, and I’m excited to keep growing talent while delivering consistently high-quality work.
