What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote opportunities where I can lead visual direction—branding, characters, posters, and music/marketing artwork—working with international teams and turning concepts into high-impact designs.

I’m a creative, versatile 2D artist, illustrator, and graphic designer with 10+ years of visual storytelling across branding, character design, and music cover artwork. I bring strong visual direction to help concepts translate into clear, compelling identities.

In my freelance work for international clients, I’ve created branding, characters, and visual identity systems, and produced 180+ creative cover artworks for music artists from different countries. I also redesigned a musician’s YouTube channel, improving conversion through visual direction.

I’m experienced working with public urban spaces too—creating murals that attract citizen interest in culture and social issues. Earlier roles strengthened my production range, including news posters, social media visual templates, and storyboards for motion and video content.

From sticker pack illustration and custom font design to campaign assets and product design concepts, I deliver polished artwork across print and digital formats. I’m currently considering remote opportunities only.
