I am a freelance graphic designer with a strong foundation in both marketing and web design. Originally from Italy, I have resided in Alexandria, VA, since 2016, proudly holding dual Italian and American citizenship. My international perspective has always been integral to my work approach.
My Catholic faith is also always at the center of my life; I try to put my faith into practice during work time and connect with Catholic Business when I have the possibility. I hold a master's degree in Tourism Economics and spent five successful years in the tourism industry as a travel agent. Driven by my passion and experience in marketing and design, I launched my own business, Creative Online Designer, specializing in marketing and graphic design at creativeonlinedesigner.com.
I manage social media, connect with my professional profile on Facebook and Instagram. Additionally, I managed an Italian hotel website, luxuryhospitalityitaly.com, and its associated social networks, featuring affiliate links with Expedia.com. I also managed a food blog, moomcooksitalian.com, which showcases authentic Italian recipes.
My dedication extends to community involvement, where I actively volunteer with the PTO at Blessed Sacrament Catholic School in Alexandria, VA, particularly assisting with graphic design and event organization for their annual auction. I also help my parish with events when there is an occasion. Furthermore, I contribute to community events within my neighborhood at Cameron Station, reflecting my commitment to fostering community spirit and connection.
Known for my friendly demeanor and adaptability, I thrive in collaborative environments, always eager to contribute my skills and creativity to meaningful projects.
