I choose to work primarily with music and art fields because I am also an artist myself. I became fascinated by music and art from a very young age and I knew since then that this will be my life calling.

Not to say I don’t take great joy in collaborating with all sorts of industries, because to me no project is too small or too difficult. But I prefer to focus on what I love and do best, in an effort to deliver the best possible experience and final product to the clients I’m serving.

I’ve always been guided by a sense of curiosity, creativity, and adventure – that’s why my experience includes a versatile and abundant skill set, with the strongest talents being visual design, graphics, and art direction.

I enjoy being hands-on and involved in the creative process, because my attention to detail and problem-solving thinking allow me to find practical solutions to the visions and challenges artists and creatives go through.
