Summary

With over 15 years in the creative industry, I bring deep experience across advertising, e-commerce, and transcreation. I’ve led integrated campaigns across ATL, BTL, and digital channels - always with a hands-on approach and a strong eye for detail.

From brainstorming big ideas to mentoring cross-functional teams, I thrive on turning strategy into standout work. I’m actively involved in production, from on-set direction to post-production, making sure every asset stays true to the creative vision.

My focus is on crafting bold creative strategies, telling brand stories that resonate, and designing user-first digital experiences that convert. Whether rebranding a business or shaping global messaging, I know how to make complex ideas clear, engaging, and effective.

Equally at home in B2B and B2C, I’ve worked extensively on localization and transcreation for some of the world’s most recognized brands.
