About me

I am a seasoned Creative Lead with extensive experience in driving innovative design solutions and managing multidisciplinary teams in an integrated creative agency setting. With a proven track record of delivering impactful branding, digital marketing, and UX design projects, I excel at transforming complex ideas into compelling visual narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with high-profile clients across various industries, including automotive, healthcare, technology, and FMCG. My journey began as a brand designer, where I quickly developed a passion for branding and strategic campaign development.
This foundation paved the way for leadership roles where I successfully built and led creative teams, driving award-winning projects that have significantly boosted brand engagement and business growth.
I have spearheaded successful campaigns, managed multilingual projects across Europe, and achieved remarkable sales targets, such as generating £40 million in sales during 'Black Friday' events. My expertise in POS and promotional design, web and UX design, and 360 branding has equipped me with the skills to deliver comprehensive and cohesive brand experiences across multiple platforms.
