Hire the Best Art Directors
in Romania

I am a 32 years old Illustrator/ Art-Director/ 3D modeler who is looking forward to bring your ideas to life . I studied Architure in High School , I have a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Arts and a Masters degree in Book Graphics and Illustration .

Your brand's visual identity is often the first thing people judge, and the last thing most founders get right. I help startups and growing businesses build brand identities that look established from day one: logo systems, visual identity, and brand guidelines that work across every touchpoint, and hold up as the business scales. In 10+ years as an Art Director and Brand Designer, I've worked with founders who needed to look credible fast, and with teams who needed to bring consistency to a brand that had grown faster than its design system. What I deliver: — Brand identity & visual identity systems — Logo design (primary, secondary, submarks) — Brand guidelines & style guides — Color, typography, layout principles — Packaging, pitch decks, marketing collateral My process is intentional: we define a clear visual direction first, then build a system you can apply consistently, without having to come back and fix it in a year. ★★★★★ "Executed concepts and designs above expectation. Could not ask for more from a designer." ★★★★★ "She has over-delivered on every task. I'll be forever grateful." ★★★★★ "Absolutely stunning designs and impressive turnaround times. She is a magician!"

I work with startups, founder-led businesses, SaaS teams, and DTC / eCommerce brands that need to be understood fast - and chosen with confidence. Through brand identity design, visual identity systems, logo design, and packaging design, I reduce the risk of wrong positioning and help products support the purchase decision from the very first interaction. For new and growing brands, branding and design are not just about aesthetics - they are about clarity, trust, and price justification. My role is to build coherent brand identity systems, from logo and visual identity to print-ready packaging design, so the business can scale without friction. 📌 The Problem: Most brands lose money not because the product is weak, but because the branding and visual identity don’t communicate value fast enough. Online or on the shelf, customers have only seconds to decide. When brand identity, logo design, or packaging design fail to clearly express value and differentiation, products become interchangeable - no matter how good it is. 📌 My Solution: I start with a lean brand strategy, just enough to define positioning, audience, and value proposition. From there, I design the logo, brand identity system, visual identity guidelines, packaging design and a cohesive website as strategic sales tools: clear, coherent, and aligned with the price positioning. The design is aesthetic, but always functional. 📌 The Result: A cohesive brand identity that inspires confidence from the first interaction, justifies its price, and reduces friction in the buying decision - especially important for a new brand with no history. If you’d like, I can quickly assess whether your current brand identity, logo, or packaging design supports - or blocks - your sales. Do you have trust issues? Fair enough.

I help product brands create visual content that doesn't just look premium — it sells. Most brands don't struggle with ideas. They struggle with execution that matches the level their product deserves. That's where I come in. 🏆 As an Expert-Vetted Creative Director with 14+ years leading visual production for global FMCG, retail, and e-commerce brands, I run Encore Studio — a full-service creative production studio specializing in high-impact product content. 🎨I lead complete visual production: from strategic concept to final delivery. Photography, video, advanced post-production, compositing, motion graphics — everything a serious product brand needs to compete at scale. What I Do: 🎯 Creative Direction & Strategy ✔️ Visual concept development from brief to execution ✔️ Product launch campaigns & complete content packages ✔️ Brand identity & product line visual systems ✔️ Campaign art direction for multi-channel rollouts 📸 Product Photography & Videography ✔️ E-commerce packshots (Amazon, eMAG standards) ✔️ Lifestyle product photography with casting & art direction ✔️ Food & beverage photography with professional styling ✔️ Hero product videos & beauty shots ✔️ Commercial films & brand campaigns ✨ Advanced Post-Production ✔️ High-end retouching & compositing (14+ years doing this old-school, now faster) ✔️ Photo manipulation & creative image building ✔️ Color grading & cinematic finishing ✔️ Motion graphics & animated infographics 📱 Content for Every Channel ✔️ Social media content (Instagram, TikTok, Meta Ads) ✔️ E-commerce assets (A+ Content, comparison charts, feature breakdowns) ✔️ Campaign key visuals & hero assets ✔️ Explainer videos & product demos ✅ What You Get ✔️ Strategic visual thinking rooted in 14+ years of campaign work ✔️ Complete production pipeline: concept → shooting → post → delivery ✔️ Content built for results, not just aesthetics ✔️ Hybrid workflow: real photography + advanced post-production + AI tools (used strategically, never as replacement for craft) ✔️ One team, one standard, predictable timelines I've worked with 120+ brands in FMCG, food & drink, beauty, retail, and HoReCa. My clients don't come to me for "nice visuals." They come because they need content that performs — content that creates desire in 0.3 seconds and turns browsers into buyers. 🔧 Who I Work Best With ✔️ Product brands operating at scale (or ready to) ✔️ Marketing teams that understand visual content is sales infrastructure, not decoration ✔️ Companies with multiple SKUs that need consistent, premium output ✔️ Founders and CMOs who refuse mediocrity and want a long-term creative partner I'm not for everyone. If you need one-off quick tasks or "good enough" content, I'm not the right fit. But if you're building a brand that competes globally and needs visuals that match that ambition — let's talk.
