At my core, I am a designer, but throughout my career and as part of my growth, I have worn many hats to help brands connect the dots.
Over the past 14 years, I’ve had the privilege of working in two major industries: automotive and technology. In these fast-paced environments, I’ve collaborated with some of the most prestigious brands and agencies across nearly every vertical on all five continents, gaining valuable international experience. I speak English, French, Arabic, and have basic proficiency in Italian and Mandarin.
