I am a Creative Director and Designer with extensive experience in brand marketing, particularly within the CPG, alcohol, and lifestyle industries. After years of working in New York City's fast-paced creative agency world, I have recently relocated to Barcelona and I am excited to share my expertise with a new team.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with brands of all sizes, from emerging names to globally recognized leaders in the U.S. market. Whether managing creative campaigns for large corporations or shaping the identity of boutique brands, I bring a deep understanding of how to build compelling, memorable consumer experiences. My background equips me to deliver a holistic approach to brand strategy, blending creativity with strategic insights to drive impactful marketing results.
