ABOUT
I am a visual artist with a great passion for aesthetics,
narrative and colour. With a background in diverse areas
of Set Design my work is often playful and surrealist.
I am accustomed to working with specific briefs, tight
budgets,deadlines as well as translating the ideas of
others and developing imaginative and original concepts.
Apart from having a great drive for my practice I have an
eagerness to keep learning new skills and approaches
within the industry. Moreover, I thrive when working in a
team and collaborating with other people’s visions and
opinions. I also consider myself to have good leadership
skills when needed. I am committed to bring to work a
strong dedication and enthusiasm, as well as a creative
and dynamic personality.
