Digital designer, traditional artist & admirer of the finer things. I invite you to share my passion for creativity, and discover the wonders that unfold when pixels and paint come together.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” — Albert Einstein

Heart

My repertoire of skills is a blend of creativity and technical expertise that I have cultivated over the years. From the art of creative direction to the craft of graphic design, I strive to bring my best to every project, aiming to create things that resonates and delights. Always giving it my all.

Creative Direction

I consider it a privilege to guide a team of talented individuals in the pursuit of bringing ideas to life.

Starting from humble beginnings, I've honed my design skills through practice, perseverance, and a genuine love for visual storytelling.

I enjoy creating art that resonates with others and brings joy to their lives.

Fine Art

For as long as I can remember, with brushes in hand and a heart full of love for the creative process, I've strived to capture the essence of ideas and emotions on canvas: creating art that resonates with others and brings joy to their lives.

Tools of the Trade

~

For over two-dozen years, I have gained experience in the media, advertising, and entertainment industries. I’ve had the privilege of working on diverse projects and collaborating with talented individuals. Each experience has shaped me and taught me valuable lessons, reminding me of the vastness of the creative landscape that I am so lucky to be a part of.

Canva & Adobe

Canva and Adobe Cloud are a powerful combination of forces in multimedia management for teams.

Shopify

A robust platform for online shopping (as well as physical ones). In my opinion, it is the king of its domain.

Google Ads & Merchant Center

AdWords combined with an online catalog is a powerful online powerhouse for virtual and traditional retailers.

Canva & Adobe

Canva is a powerful multimedia platform that is brilliant for teams and streamlining work. Adobe Cloud is a creative collection of famous applications that needs no introduction.

Shopify

A robust platform for online shops (as well as brick and mortar ones). Everything you'll ever need to sell your goods on the worldwide web: Shopify. IMHO, the king of its domain.

Google Ads & Merchant Center

The power of Google is universally felt. AdWords combined with an online catalogue will provide anyone with significant return on investment on their products and services.

“Education is something you can’t finish.”  — Isaac Asimov

Mind

Skills and experience are important qualities in anyone’s work, but what about a person’s passions and interests? If skills and experience are what gives your creative efforts physical form, then it’s what inspires you that truly breathes life into your creations.

History of Art

It is essentially our ancestors' visual diaries of our living history—thoughts, fantasies, visions; glimpses of the past. A retrospective look at times gone by through the lens of imagination; something that can help guide as to what lies ahead.

Psychology

What are people thinking, and more importantly, why do they think that? Our thoughts are what make us... us. I don't think there's a person in this world who couldn't benefit from a bit of self-reflection and deeper understanding.

Biology

Atoms to genes, creatures to memes. If psychology asks: who are we? Then biology asks: what are we? Biology is a way for us to figure out what we are, where we came from, and where we might be going. It is our heritage. It is our legacy.

“We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.” — Carl Sagan

Soul

Ethics and Philosophical Naturalism are the basis of my morality and decision-making. I am friendly, good-natured, and love to laugh. At the same time, I am a serious person and consider myself a survivor. My personal mottos I live by are: “You can prepare, but you cannot control, so always be prepared,” and “Focus on the path, not the obstacles.”

Leader

Creative leadership is an art. It is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal: directing workers and colleagues with a strategy to meet the company and clients' needs.

Artist

Art is more than drawing and painting. It's a unique way of perceiving the world's intricate details that connect with the essence of all things; and then trying to capture those emotions, ideas, and deeper meanings on paper.

Scientist

Art is subjective. Data is not. I prefer to verify claims through systematic investigation using the scientific method and empirical evidence. I'm not afraid to have an opinion, but my opinions will change with the facts.

“He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.” — Marcus Aurelius
