I collaborate with publishers, editors, creative teams, and entrepreneurs to transform ideas into compelling visual systems—across print, digital, and motion.
With 25+ years of international experience, I work at the intersection of illustration, branding, UX design, and creative direction—developing visual assets and storytelling tools for clients in publishing, SaaS, education, advertising, culture, and the wine industry.
From designing a brand identity or mascot to crafting motion graphics, UX icon systems, editorial illustrations, or explainer videos, I combine strategic clarity with creative detail—always tailored to the audience and purpose.
