Senior Artistic Director with extensive experience hiring and managing in-house and freelance creative talents, building brand awareness, and enhancing print and digital storytelling.
I drive strategy and creative direction across all brand functions, oversee multiple projects simultaneously in fast-paced environments, and have a strong affinity for artistic innovation and exploration.
I also collaborate with musicians by providing artistic direction on specific projects, such as albums or EPs.

In 2024, I designed my first two ready-to-wear womenswear capsules for a client.
