What I do

I've started working on several communication projects at Contain.r (formally known as YoungUrbans ) in 2004. To serve every client at best i asked the help of my friends, the creative people all around me. Inspired by those people... Our strength was to use each talent where it best serves the project's specific needs. Have a look at the projects that i've been workin' on.

Now in 2009 I'm facing a new challenge... I'm working at Enviu, innovators in sustainability, where I'm responsible for all the communication in and around the company.
