Welcome to my portfolio!
Are you looking for a talented graphic designer that can translate your ideas into stunning and enduring designs?
For more than 30 years, I've worked with all types of print and digital design, producing anything from reports, posters, flyers, and advertisements to logos. Any design issue that comes up can be handled by me, and I regularly deliver high-quality work that complies with your needs and your budget.
From small local start-ups to global enterprises, I have worked with a wide variety of clients, primarily in the cultural or public sector. I like creating graphics that express your company's personality and mission and make you stand out from the crowd.
Along with being a talented designer, I also excel in collaboration and communication. I listen to your needs and feedback, and I work with you to achieve the best results possible. I work diligently, am smart, committed, and remain composed under pressure.
Whether you're a start-up seeking a distinctive and memorable logo or an established company looking for a fresh and innovative design strategy, I'm here to make it happen.
