About

A visual specialist with longtime experience in the fields of web design, art direction and video editing.

I spent over 10 years working as a Digital Designer

As a kid at school I remember putting ‘Graphic Designer’ as a job placeholder when practicing how to write a CV. Somehow, I’ve always known that my path ahead in life was paved with digital screens and visual mockups.

Starting as a Junior Interactive Designer in a small agency in London’s Notting Hill I learned a lot about web design, online advertising and especially layouts by creating and hand-coding email newsletters. Later, I outgrew email grids and became familiar with a broad range of design areas in bigger companies, designing mainly online ads, banners, and landing pages. I truly became a Digital Design All-Rounder.

Art Direction enriched my craft

It wasn’t a big jump from design to art direction. In fact, I stumbled upon it almost organically in a designer role in 2014, discovering the fun and excitement of conceptualizing communication campaigns for various products, themes and seasons. I was responsible for co-managing and co-planning those campaigns, providing creative direction for photography teams and communicating ideas to other stakeholders within the companies. That’s how I learnt responsibility and accountability.

Additionally, I could hone my soft skills and personal integrity in various complex situations.

Did you know...

I used to draw and paint in the old-fashioned way on paper and canvas. I also experimented with digital matte paintings.

If you're curious, take a look at my collection of drawings and (digital) paintings.

Video editing

Apart from design, storytelling in video form has always been my passion no. 2. I'm interested in independent short film culture. I did a lot of video editing and used to write and direct short films in my spare time. Don't believe me? Take a look at my collection of videos and short films.
