I focus on innovative solutions while identifying gaps. We'll reach the goal together by working as a team.
01
Solutions for clients of all sizes and types.I’ve worked with private and government organisations, startups, and education institutions. Two decades of experience have taught me how to bring creative solutions to complex problems. No job is too small or big. I can align and follow strict brand guidelines or be as creative as you want.
02
Solutions for Digital, Print, UX/UI or Social MediaI’m a brand specialist. I understand how to comply with (or create) branding guidelines. In fact, I have been responsible for brand implementation to both small and large organisations (some with thousands of staff). I will be able to help you with all your creative and design issues related to print, digital, web, and social media.
How I work
I focus on solutions (not the problems). I use design to improve user experience and client communication. I’m here to work with you as a team and to advise you on best practices (not to tell you how to do things). If you’re happy I’m happy! I base my work on three things:
I approach new jobs with curiosity. I want to know every detail related to the task, its purpose, and its objectives. Once I have a full understanding, I’ll be able to identify gaps and issues. I’ll also be able to bring the most suitable solutions to the table. I am here to solve your problems, Not to showcase how a great designer I am.
Design is subjective to personal taste. This is why my job is to work together with you as a team. Get to know what you need, what you want, and what you like so that the best possible solutions can be produced in a timely and affordable manner. I’m here to bring design solutions that will align with your organisation/business brand.
Clear, concise communication is key for a project to be successful. I will let you know all details related to the job. In this way all parties involved know what the end result is. I work hard to avoid confusions and wrong expectations. When issues arise, I take immediate action and fix them as quickly as possible.
01
BrandingI can help with the creation of your entire branding and collateral. Including logo, business cards, letterheads, templates, and guidelines. I can also review your current brand, and take it to the next level.
02
PrintI have extensive experience working with printers. Have produced extremely complex guides that had hundreds of thousands of copies printed and distributed worldwide. I’ve designed all types of printed products including brochures, guides, flyers, posters, banners and packaging among many others.
03
Web & DigitalI’m experienced with User Experience (UX), User Interface (UI), Information Architecture (IA) and social media. I’ve designed for all types of digital channels including corporate websites (some with hundreds of pages), landing pages, web forms, homepages, web tiles and BOTS among others.
04
PodcastsSome added value I bring to the job: I’ve designed for podcasts and audio files. I’ve also produced two podcasts (Innovator Diaries and TIPS). I can help you produce, design, and create your own corporate podcast. I have experience managing teams and people. I’ve been both an employee and a business owner thus understand how organisations work.
I believe in the power of asking the right questions, clarifying needs and being flexible, while giving priority to important objectives and goals. I seek to provide the highest-quality, most effective solutions for clients, while supporting their organisation goals.
Design & communications are my passions. They've always been. This is why I give 100% to every project I work with.
