SUMMARY:
 

An Art Director with an expertise in strategy and communication design and over a decade of international experience across beauty & lifestyle, restaurant & hospitality, and media & culture. With a strong emphasis on forward-thinking brand and visual identity development, marketing, and communications I have refined my skills across diverse global markets, including the US, UK, MENA, and CIS regions. Clients include L'Officiel, Sabon, L'ETO Group, MMOMA, and many more. 

​

Beyond aesthetics, I focus on research-driven practices, ensuring each project is crafted to meet the brand's needs while remaining relevant in an overcrowded market. In an industry often focused solely on surface appeal, I prioritize substance and authenticity as well.
