What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my creative expertise and leadership skills to drive impactful campaigns and foster a collaborative environment.

With a strong background in branding, creative leadership, and visual communication, I have built my career leading teams and developing impactful campaigns that connect brands to their audiences in meaningful and strategic ways.

Over the past years, I have worked in leadership positions across agencies and international creative environments, managing multidisciplinary teams and overseeing projects from concept development to final execution. In my current role I collaborate with U.S. based companies to create branding materials, advertising campaigns, videos, animations, and digital content while ensuring strategic alignment and high-quality delivery across all stages of production.

Previously, as Creative Director, I led creative operations, coordinated branding projects, and managed communication between teams and departments to guarantee efficient workflows and strong creative results. My leadership style is highly collaborative, focused on motivating teams, encouraging innovation, and maintaining high creative standards while respecting deadlines and business objectives.

Beyond creative direction, I bring solid experience in branding strategy, project management, digital communication, and AI-assisted creative workflows. I am passionate about combining creativity with strategic thinking to build campaigns and brand experiences that generate both engagement and measurable impact.
