Illustrator & Creative Thinker

After completing my apprenticeship as a media operator and earning my degree in communication design and illustration, I initially worked as an illustrator for media outlets, companies, and organizations. Together with my wife, I then founded the illustrators’ agency SEPIA, which we have continuously developed. In this role, I have supported numerous creative projects and coordinated collaboration between illustrators, agencies, publishers, and companies.

Personal

I am a husband, swimmer, amateur cook, and avid reader of novels.
