PORTFOLIO

A curated work edit of brand moments, influential communities and strategic storytelling, connecting brands to the pages, people and cultural contexts that matter.

VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE ART WALK
 VIA CSPR

During Gallery Weekend Berlin, an exclusive art walk for Vestiaire Collective brought together a curated circle of 15 leading voices from fashion, art, and design. Set across selected galleries and shaped as a cultural experience, the walk connected contemporary art, fashion, and the local creative community. Guests were styled in Vestiaire Collective looks throughout the experience, allowing the brand to become part of the visual narrative. The result was a subtle yet impactful format that strengthened cultural relevance, built brand trust, and evolved into a recurring series highly sought after within Berlin’s creative community.

BRAND MOMENTS & EVENTS

ARMANI BEAUTY x BERLINALE 2025 + 2026
VIA TPA PR

Marking Armani beauty’s ongoing partnership with the Berlin International Film Festival, the brand hosted its annual main event during the 75th and 76th Berlinale, welcoming over 1,500 guests from film, fashion, and culture. The guest list brought together local celebrities, international talents, and global Armani beauty ambassadors, creating a high-visibility moment at the intersection of beauty, cinema, and cultural influence. 


VIP shuttle coordination throughout the evening was handled by me to ensure a seamless and elevated experience for all high-profile attendees. The event received broad national and international media coverage and further strengthened Armani beauty’s cultural presence during Berlinale.

PRESENCE GMBH x ZURICH
THE LOST SENSE EXPERIENCE
 VIA MARATHON STUDIOS

The Lost Sense Experience was conceived as a three-day multisensory exhibition at the Julia Stoschek Foundation. Blending art, AI, and interactive stations, the experience invited visitors to engage with the often-overlooked sense of smell, from visualised scent memories to the creation of their own AI-generated fragrance. The opening welcomed over 500 guests, creating a highly visible moment at the intersection of culture, technology, and emotional brand storytelling. By translating a complex health-related topic into an immersive cultural experience, the project gave Zurich a distinctive presence while connecting the brand to memory, care, and human connection.

Ranging from intimate gatherings to high-impact launches, these experiences generated momentum, strengthened awareness, and created memorable moments that felt elevated, authentic, and culturally relevant.
