I’m a creative project manager and art director with a background in design, marketing, and publishing. My approach combines structure and empathy. I plan, coordinate, and deliver projects that connect creative vision with measurable results, fostering alignment and enabling teams to work with confidence and purpose.
I value open communication, well-structured planning, and the balance between creativity and strategy.
With certifications as IPMA Level D Project Manager and Scrum Master (PSM I), I bring a solid methodological foundation to interdisciplinary collaboration. I guide teams and stakeholders through clear priorities and consistent workflows, ensuring projects stay on track from concept to completion.
Over more than ten years in the creative industry — from agency and freelance work to leading design and marketing teams in publishing — I’ve developed a versatile skill set spanning concept development, process management, and hands-on execution.
