As a staff and freelance international designer and head of design, I had the opportunity to express successfully my creativity on product like watches, bags, wetsuits and so on. I am looking for sharing my passion for design in a fresh, dynamic environment where strong ideas lead designs. If you think that your studio fit that description, if you need such design or you just want to comment my work, feel free to contact me. Relocation possible.
