About me

Intro

I'm an art director and visual storyteller with 8+ years of experience crafting bold, intelligent, and emotionally resonant design systems across branding, digital, event, and internal comms. From global agencies to Parisian startups, I've led creative from strategy to execution building brands from scratch, launching new identities, and scaling in-house teams. What sets me apart? My ability to decode complex briefs, align with business goals, and deliver beautifully effective work across mediums. I thrive at the crossroads of creative vision and strategic design and I get things done. Multilingual (FR/EN/RU), globally mobile open to relocation. Seeking my next challenge: a long-term contract or mission where I can lead impactful creative without downgrading my level. Let's build something extraordinary.
