Freelance advisor for creative, conceptual and strategic brand and communication development (all touchpoints, from retail to digital): starting from a pragmatic analysis (consumer, market, product, competition, distribution...), I work out a clear and workable strategy with orginal views, fresh ideas and proposals for relevant, up-to-date design and communication techniques. My clients vary from government and large companies to advertising agencies, retailers and restaurants. I'm also a guest speaker and teacher for all subjects listed above.
