About me

As a designer and art & design director with 20 years of experience in visual communication and branding, I have specialized in creating unique brand identity concepts, developing bespoke visual identities and integrating overall brand communication.
I’ve set high standards in supporting the businesses I work with, navigating them and helping them build clever and long-lived brands in an elusive and everchanging market.
I rely on a selected network of coworkers that projects require and when needed, coordinate creative or interdisciplinary teams. During projects, I help to establish and implement in-house design processes and educate about keeping your own brand hygiene. With a hands-on approach, I help even the most complex project unfold in a way that the whole team can contribute and take over. Except for the quality of the cooperation process, I make sure the best ideas, planted in a strategic base, come to life.

I am an expert in branding from scratch, with visual identity and communication perfectly planted into its strategic base. The resulting brand identities are always planned for business longevity, and most of the brand identities I made a long ago still resist rebranding after more than 10 or 15 years of service*. Thanks to this level of reliability, some of my professional cooperation take decades** and others reap industry awards***.

In 2020, I was selected as one of Creativepool’s Top 10 Art Directors to look out for in 2021. My work has won a number of industry and design awards, including the Bronze Cannes Lion 2021 for Design, Art Directors Club New York “Best of Discipline” for Packaging Design 2021, three Red Dot Awards and a Cresta Award, to name a few.

Focus on Hospitality Branding

With a focus on hospitality and luxury branding in close connection to premium food and beverages, as well as signage and wayfinding design, I work across all aspects that contribute to creating an experience of a place. Whether it is a luxury hotel or resort, a winery, a campsite, a conference centre, a wellness or a restaurant — the principles remain the same. The branding & communication have to reach and intrigue guests long before they arrive at the destination.
