What I'm looking for

I’m open to new freelance and contract collaborations, including remote projects worldwide.

At Renault Group Romania, I led the UX/UI redesign of the Alpine and Dacia websites, boosting user engagement by 25%. I also built and managed a global multi-brand Design System used by 20+ country teams.

In my freelance practice, I partner with clients worldwide on brand identities, digital product design, illustration, and art direction. My work spans projects from research through final UI and from initial concepts to visual systems.

At Atelierul de internet, I designed key visuals and web prototypes for the Jacobs coffee campaign, which won a Gold Effie Award in 2015. I also designed web and social media UI for the agency’s clients.

At Fort Knox PR, I co-created the brand identity and art direction for a comics project featured in Forbes and other major outlets. Through Jane Candy, my personal design brand, I explore storytelling and product creation.
