About me
My work is in the intersection of branding, art direction and digital product design (UX/UI). As a multidisciplinary designer I have created identities, strategies and products for global brands and startups. My expertise spans across a wide range of industries from tech to luxury, fashion, hospitality, lifestyle, art and culture.
