I am a Romanian designer, illustrator and art director based in Brooklyn, New York.
I am interested in combining illustration with design in both my commercial and personal projects, to tell stories that resonate and engage with its audiences.

I am working across branding, digital, editorial, print, lettering, and illustration for lifestyle, culture, media, and tech brands.

In both my personal and client work, I am interested in queer themes, identity and self-expression, feminism, motivation, and empowerment. I aim to inspire through my illustration, collage, type and lettering.

Some of my clients include The New York Times, Refinery29, Palette Studio, Converse, Teen Vogue, Glamour UK, Dipsea, Peloton, Thinx, Hello Mr. magazine, DoR magazine, Pepsi and many others.

My illustration work has received notable awards several times from American Illustration and Applied Arts Magazine. I just received a recent American Illustration Award on April 2025
for my collage and type artwork series.

I am fortunate to have notable press in various publications and platforms such as Creative Boom, The Graphic Artists Guild, The Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, SCAD, Applied Arts, The Alternative School, IQads, Propagarta, Certain Magazine, DART: Design Arts Daily, The Calvert Journal, Art Directors Club, AIGA Eye on Design, Teen Vogue, Design*Sponge, Showusyourtype, and FontsInUse among others.

I love judging and I had a few opportunities to be part of creative judging panels, including The One Club for Creativity. I also attended their portfolio reviews to offer creative advice to students. I enjoy hosting workshops and small creative talks; some of these were presented to the reputable women-focused American Media Company, Refinery29.

For the past 10 years, I was invited to co-teach four times a series of online classes at The National University of Arts, in Bucharest, Romania, focusing on lettering, typography, and illustration.
I conceived this class for the students in the Graphic Arts Department, alongside Stela Lie, professor at The National University of Arts, and founder of The Illustrator’s Club, Romania.
I was invited in 2015, 2018, 2021, and 2024.

My work is fueled by kombucha, music, and an unhealthy amount of mags, zines, and digital platforms.
In my 13+ years of working & freelancing, I enjoyed creating visual experiences for both established and startup companies.
