What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote and international roles where I can lead creative teams, strengthen social media and brand systems, and turn business needs into consistent visual communication.

At Grower, I built the Social Media Department from the ground up and led workflow, quality standards, and daily operations for a 10–25 person creative and social media team across 400+ active projects.

I guide brand voice, visual consistency, and platform-specific content across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube. I also systemized onboarding, feedback, prioritization, and delivery processes to reduce error, delays, and unnecessary revisions.

Alongside agency work for international clients, I deliver freelance brand identities, campaigns, packaging, content systems, and customer-experience recommendations that turn business needs into effective visual communication.
