What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a brand-focused role where I can lead creative strategy, mentor designers, and deliver integrated, multi-channel visual systems—partnering with stakeholders to translate business goals into measurable brand impact.

I’m a Creative Design Leader with 12+ years of experience in brand transformation, visual communication, and integrated marketing. I’ve partnered with and elevated 40+ brands through high-impact branding, marketing, and visual identity work, and I’ve directed 200+ corporate office branding projects across 9+ global markets.

As a Senior Visual, Graphic & Communication Designer & Creative Team Lead, I align design strategy with business objectives while mentoring a creative team of 1–3 designers. I lead end-to-end brand identity and marketing collateral—from logo design and brand guidelines to digital/print production, storyboarding, quality control, and on-time delivery across multiple concurrent client projects.
