Personal Profile

“For most designers, design is a way of life and a way
of thinking about things, not just a job.”

In the current position of an Art Director, I am artistic, creative, computer savvy,  and reliable. I am well balanced and able to work enthusiastically under high pressure, either with a team or alone. 

I have knowledge of visual and performing arts  as weel as applied arts disciplines, from interior design to illustration and beyond. I can use business skills to manage arts organizations and facilities, such as galleries, museums, and studios; design and install exhibits and how to identify, handle, and care for art objects.

I have good communication skills which are necessary to work with diverse groups such as the public, the board of directors, artists, and donors. I am professional and confident in presenting ideas, well co-operated with and persuaded to clients.

In my opinion, graphic design is not a solo act. The process of  idea exchanging with clients plays a very impontant role in the success
of an art director.
