My approach blends strategic vision with hands-on design excellence, from leading global rebrands and packaging innovation to fostering high-performing, purpose-driven teams. I’ve worked across Europe, North America and APAC, helping organisations translate insight into impactful brand experiences that connect emotionally and commercially.

I thrive in moments of change — whether transforming brand architecture, establishing internal design functions, or coaching future leaders. I believe great design is a business accelerator, and I’m always open to conversations about where design can go next.
