What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I lead visual direction and craft brand and digital experiences, in a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I’m a Senior Visual Designer with eight years of experience across creative studios, focusing on branding, UI/UX, video editing, and animation. My design background enables me to create work that is visually strong, practical, and easy to use.

At Reﬁve GMBH I lead visual direction, perform hands-on design and video production, develop brand identities, and oversee projects to ensure creative consistency across platforms. I’ve also served as a Teaching Assistant and curriculum curator at International Balkan University, supporting student learning and academic development.

Previously I worked as a Corporate Identity Designer for Platinum Group, managing branding, project catalogs, renders, and website design, and produced animated banners and digital advertisements for HMH Center social media pages. I enjoy shaping ideas into engaging experiences and helping brands tell stories people connect with.

I have been recognized with multiple awards including Best Undergraduate Designer (2018) and Excellence in Design (2017), and was selected as a guest jury member in 2019. I bring strong communication, project management, and fast learning skills to collaborative design teams.
