## About

Professional summaryIn my career as an Art/Creative Director, I've applied my skills to a wide range of formats and platforms, including publishing, creative services, e-commerce, events, and web. With years of experience in developing visual stories, creating assets, and managing creative teams, I recognize the importance of approaching every project with a strong concept and team spirit. I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with groups or individuals ranging from stakeholders and photographers to glam squads and producers, all in the effort to bring a vision to fruition.
