STORY

Headline

Throughout my career as a Design Director and Creative Director, I’ve been lucky to have had the opportunity to tackle complex challenges across physical, digital, and social experiences, getting pushing the boundaries of User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX).

My experience at companies such as The Economist Group, Horizon Media, TalkShopLive, and JWT has sharpened my ability to lead cross-functional teams and deliver design solutions that consistently exceed expectations across diverse industries. MGMT

I led the expansion of the creative studio from a single-person operation to a dynamic team of 16, including writers, user experience designers, art directors, video editors, strategists, and project managers. Our team evolved from basic Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) pages to comprehensive, concept-based performance solutions, ranging from social videos to robust design systems, landing pages, and online ads.

We utilized tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Swift, and CSS to develop seamless user interfaces and engaging digital experiences. This transformation increased top-line revenue by 25% per quarter by pitching new business and finding smart, incremental solutions for current clients.
