With over 25 years of experience in the digital advertising and design landscape, I’ve had the unique privilege of leading, creating, and transforming brands across industries. My journey as a design strategist and creative director has been driven by a passion for translating complex ideas into meaningful, human-centered visual experiences that resonate on a global scale. As the Founder of MangooTribe, a visual communication design consultancy, I help brands navigate their digital transformation by blending creative direction with human-centered design. I specialize in applying design thinking methodologies and managing projects from inception to delivery, ensuring that brands thrive in today's fast-evolving digital landscape. Throughout my career, I have taken on diverse roles, from my early beginnings as a Character Design Intern at Bunko Studios, or various syllables of "Designer" at Tikle, Mobinex or CityPockets to leadership positions at agencies like Ogilvy One, Wanda, Modiki or Havas. Each step has been a testament to my adaptability, technical proficiency, and commitment to design excellence. I’ve worked globally with leading brands like Mercedes-Benz, PepsiCo, Honda, and Domino’s, mastering digital strategies that drive results. My journey spans creative roles to leadership positions, including Creative Director at Jebwa.com and Senior UX Designer at Hoptub, where I spearheaded innovative designs that enhanced user engagement and increased revenue. Whether I’m directing projects, designing seamless UX experiences, or developing brand strategies, I’m passionate about creating meaningful connections through design. I’m now fully dedicated to MangooTribe and exploring my love for design, illustration, animation, and stop-motion—always pushing boundaries and blending art with strategy. As the medium continues to evolve, I remain committed to creating visual resonances that shape how ideas are perceived, experienced, and remembered.
