fun fact:

When I was working at Wunderman Thompson in Bulgaria, throughout my time

in the agency I brought 4 interns and since then my colleagues started calling me

"The HR". 3 out of 4 of these interns were successfully hired after their internship. Sometimes I tend to inspire people to get into advertising.


I am an extroverted person and I like to talk to people, so if you want to reach out:

I see myself as a creative in general. I don't limit myself only in visuals, I like to think

in insights, concepts, headlines, slogans and so on. My strong sides are concepts

and ideas. This is what drives me and fullfills me and I use art direction to express these ideas. I like to be proactive and come up with ideas, even if there isn't a specific brief coming from the client. I have 3 years of experience in advertising. In 2024

I decided to move to Portugal and study my Masters there, because I wasn't satisfied with the education in my country and I wanted to become better in art direction

and enhance my skills. Since Sep 2024 I live in Lisbon.
