EXPERIENCE AWARDS
SKILLS
Graduated in 2009, over the past 6 years I’ve had
the opportunity to create and strengthen
competencies and skills that define me as a
Designer, Creative and Entrepreneur passionate
for new ideas and challenges. Always with a close
relationship with the market, customers, suppliers
and multidisciplinary teams I’ve developed a taste
and desire to better understand the mechanisms
between these elements and how they can
empower design-led innovation.
My experience as Creative Director at SPAL has
become a unique passion that awakened and
enlightened an holistic vision of the market, design
and marketing as tools to create new business
value and market revenue.
With a strategic focus on business results and
department goals, the creative direction of a
leading brand design studio team has been a
great responsibility and pleasure. Over the year
the strategic work developed has become an
essential value to the organization and a
collaborative axis that helped create a great team
of passionate people I love to work with.
