About

In terms of what I actually do, I’d say I consist of three people. A concept provider, an art director and a graphic designer. We don't always agree, which is good. It makes us work harder until the three of us are satisfied. At the age of 6, I pulled the stickers off my Tic Tac candy boxes and stuck them on my little Matchbox Vans. So I guess I’ve been in this business of brand communication for virtually my entire life. I bring more than 15 years of international experience working with agencies on a wide range of consumer and B2B brands, in multiple facets of their branding and communications. Today, I am still finding my daily joy and pleasure in serving agencies and clients by doing advertising and brand identity. In “Linkedin-speak” my expertise includes: Creative Strategy, Concept Development, Traditional and Non-Traditional Advertising, Art Direction, Creative Direction, Typography, Interactive Advertising, Graphic Design, Corporate Branding and Corporate Identity. I have an optimistic mindset. I work until it works. Short deadlines don’t frighten me, I’ve never missed one. I love making new professional acquaintances. Reach out if you want to talk communications, design, people, opportunities.
