What I'm looking for

I seek a creative leadership role where I can blend brand strategy, art direction, and e‑commerce growth in a collaborative, innovation-driven company.

I am an Executive Art Director and founder with over a decade of experience delivering creative, results-driven visual solutions across digital and retail channels. I have led cross-functional teams, optimized marketing ROI, and launched e-commerce and international campaigns that increased sales and engagement.

As the founder of an online art store, I designed and built my Shopify site, created original and AI-assisted artworks, and showcased at international exhibitions. I combine strategic planning, automation (Make, Bubble), and hands-on art direction to improve operations, reduce costs, and elevate brand identities.
