Senior Creative Producer @ Restack
At Restack, I produced high-quality branded content that connected with the open-source tech community. I launched and grew a YouTube channel to over 4K subscribers, creating educational videos, product showcases, and engaging content tailored to developers. I defined a distinct motion design visual identity to ensure brand consistency and introduced livestreaming, video podcasting, and tutorials to expand the company’s reach and impact.At Restack, I produced high-quality branded content that connected with the open-source tech community.

Art Director (Video) @ Uptous
At UPTOUS, a sustainable e-commerce startup, I led the art direction and content strategy across social media and video. I redefined the brand’s visual identity and directed photo and video shoots across Europe—aligning storytelling with sustainable fashion and tech values. From product shoots and influencer collaborations to an editorial documentary series, I developed fashion-forward content that blended aesthetics with purpose. This approach helped drive a 200%+ increase in Instagram engagement and an 85% growth in sales, while raising awareness of the complexities of the fashion industry.

Product Designer & Project Lead @ AVA
Led the design and rollout of a public streaming platform for European cinema, now used by over 390,000 library users in Berlin. Took over product ownership mid-project, coordinating a cross-functional team across 11 EU cities. Delivered a responsive, curated platform under tight constraints — still live seven years later.
