I believe beauty already exists in people, ideas and projects. What I do is find it and give it form and meaning. I help authors, artists, brands and cultural projects transform their ideas and values into human visuals with collage, design & mixed media art. My practice is shaped by a master’s degree in global design, 13+ years of photography practice and lived experience across multiple countries, where I built sense of composition, visual repertoire and cultural sensitivity. I’m interested in projects in art, literature, culture, education, mental health, psychology, spirituality and music, where images support a narrative and convey meaning. I collaborate on: ✦ Editorial illustration and layout design for books, articles, magazines and journals ✦ Album, CD and podcast cover artwork ✦ Posters and flyers for events ✦ Visual identity for cultural related projects ✦ Social media editorial graphic design (carousels, stories, reels covers) My approach: I start by understanding the meaning behind the project: its core values, message, audience and tone. Then I conduct visual research and translate these elements into visuals aligned with the narrative. My ability of translating abstract ideas and concepts into symbolic and human illustrations guaranteed me international recognition with the 1st prize at the Cycle Up! poster competition for the European Peace Ride 2024. Check it out below in my portfolio! Your project deserves an image that carries its meaning. Let’s create together!
