I work across brand, design, and strategy, developing visual systems that are conceptually strong, structurally clear, and built for long-term use within complex organizations.
Over the years, my role has shifted from hands-on design toward leading and shaping design processes at scale. Today, projects are often realized through the direction of interdisciplinary design teams, aligning strategy, concept, and execution across multiple stakeholders.
Since the end of my time at BBDO, I have consistently taken on lead roles within projects, overseeing both creative direction and implementation. This includes leading teams of more than 15 designers at eps51 from 2022 to 2023, as well as guiding in-house design teams at Adobe from 2024 to 2025, ensuring clarity, consistency, and quality throughout the entire process.
My work is rooted in reduction, structure, and contrast, creating identities and systems that balance clarity with flexibility, and authorship with collaboration.
