ART DIRECTION + DESIGN

Art Director & Designer. Strategy, Branding, Visual Identity, Packaging & Marketing for Beauty, Lifestyle, Hospitality & Consumer Brands.

ABOUT

A creative professional with international experience across the US, UK, MENA and Israel, specialising in branding, visual identity, packaging, and marketing for beauty, lifestyle, hospitality, and consumer brands.

Having an academic background in communication design and fashion illustration, I've led both art direction and hands-on design from concept through to production. My experience includes launching brands from scratch, as well as supporting established companies to strengthen their image, user experience, and market positioning through visual and design language.

My core skill lies in building and maintaining consistent brand systems — I think beyond individual assets, focusing on structure, clarity, and alignment without compromising creativity.
