I design experiences—on screen, on paper, and on the road. With nearly four decades as a creative professional, I've explored a wide spectrum of visual design, from advertising and branding to UX, animation, and digital storytelling. I have thrived in leadership roles where clarity, empathy, and communication shaped every pixel and frame. Today, I am an artist, sketcher, and founder of The Odyssey Tales, a project that blends travel, memory, and hand-drawn storytelling. Travel fuels my practice, and I create intimate sketches that capture forgotten lives and silent moments using fountain pens and handmade tools. I'm always open to meaningful collaborations or simply a conversation about art, design, or the open road.
