Description

I am a Senior Graphic Designer.

I have a proven track record with many years of design experience in branding, advertising & marketing, publishing (editorial design - magazines), packaging, food styling, print media, and photography.

I have successfully managed major international accounts in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, KSA, Germany, Italy, Russia, Kosovo, Albania and the Netherlands. I am a seasoned and enthusiastic team player in mutual collaboration with designers, copywriters, publishers, managers, photographers and the press media.

Being professional sometimes is not enough. I believe in reaching for the stars and that nothing is impossible.
