More than a Mkt tool (for selling goods, values or ideas with a magical approach, “enchanting” customers to an extent that can create a solid relationship towards a brand, a company or an event) Graphic Design must create solutions and experiences that can satisfy clients and the demand, regarding its social, economical and environmental responsibility in each phase of the process.

KNOW-HOW (always willing and seeking to improve)
Visual and Corporate Identity and its applications in printed, virtual or combined media (marketing research, concept, creation, development, file preparation, image retouch and print production)
Promotional Prints and Ads
Editorial Design (also concept and text editor)
Customer Relationship, B2C and B2B, Business Plan​
​
Below few details about this 16 year journey which hopefully will be fulfilled with much more challenges and learning... (please, access LinkedIn for full work experience.)
