About me

With over 12 years of experience in packaging design for the FMCG, beauty and premium sectors, I help global brands and growing companies create packaging that sells, processes that work and a memorable visual presence.

I am a graduate of the University of Art and Design Cluj-Napoca, majoring in Design, and for over a decade I have been fully dedicated to packaging design. My expertise encompasses the entire packaging lifecycle: from creative concept and technical development, to artwork management, automation and market implementation.

Packaging Design Expert with over a decade of experience

I had the privilege of contributing to the development and launch of packaging for some of the most iconic global beauty brands, including:

Estee Lauder , MAC Cosmetics , Tom Ford Beauty , Clinique , Jo Malone London , Le Labo , La Mer , Bobbi Brown , Aveda , Smashbox , Too Faced , Dr. Jart+ , The Ordinary , By Kilian , Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle , Origins , Lab Series , as well as renowned local brands such as Farmec and Gerovital . This experience includes a portfolio of over 3000 SKUs and 25 international brands, including for the travel retail and China markets.

In addition to collaborating with giants such as Coca-Cola , Unilever , Nestle , Danone , Arla , within SIG Combibloc (where I optimized workflows and quality standards at an international level), I am also passionately involved in projects with local brands, which are at the beginning of their journey. An example is BeanBank.ch , a coffee brand from Zurich, for which I developed the head-to-tail packaging concept.

Extensive portfolio and proven results

I come with complete expertise in packaging design, from idea and creative concept, to production, artwork management, automation and delivery to market.

I understand the language and needs of the brand, but also those of suppliers, factories, technical teams and regulations in force. This integrated perspective translates into:

  • Fewer corrections

  • Clear and simplified processes

  • A final product that works from the first try

  • Increased productivity

I constantly collaborate with marketing, regulatory, technical, quality control, R&D and supply chain departments, as well as with packaging suppliers from Romania, Europe, China and globally. I have detailed knowledge of production and print technologies, including flexography, rotogravure, offset, digital printing, screen printing, UV, thermal printing, on a variety of supports: boxes, labels, foil, glass, cardboard, jars.

Holistic approach and operational efficiency

The packaging I develop combines creativity with clarity, sustainability with feasibility and, most importantly, always delivers results, whether we're talking about international launches, rebranding or new product lines.

If you need packaging that communicates effectively, differentiates in the market, and convinces consumers, I can help you bring it to life.
