Let’s talk
About me

Designing visuals that look good and work hard for the brand.

My experience

I’m a graphic designer with a Bachelor’s in graphic design and a Master’s in digital marketing. Today I design multi-market campaigns at ActivTrades: static and animated banners, landing pages, email and print. Before that I worked in-house at an online grocery store, a casino-games studio and an educational publisher.
