Darkcore Studio

I’m pouring my 10+ years of experience in graphic design into building personal brands for motivated people with a strong vision for their future.

You’ll love working with me if you’re a fan of a collaborative approach instead of giving orders. You’ll be thrilled with the result if you’re highly motivated and also tired of the bullshit in your industry. 

The entrepreneurship road is rocky. Anyone telling you something else is most likely lying.

Working with me will get you closer to your goals in a fraction of the time you’d spend learning skills you don’t need and spending time you don’t have. Because you’ll know – and experience – what it’s like to have someone with experience build you a brand that helps you succeed.

My main responsibilities as a traffic planner included organizing tire transports to assigned countries, checking and optimizing delivery flow. Other daily tasks included forecasting the loading plan for the following days, offering support in occurring problems related to missing tires and solving issues like shipment delays.

Regional Department of Statistics

As an operator during the 2011 Population & Housing Census, my main tasks were to identify any errors that could have occurred in the questionnaires, correct these errors and then introduce the correct data in the system. Good communication between co-workers and attention to detail were vital as any wrong information introduced in the system would have affected the overall result.

The era of swanky brands & websites devoid of substance and differentiation is long gone. 
Personal branding means highlighting not just what you can do, but also how you think and why.

Let's work together to attract your ideal clients through psychology and conversion-oriented design. 
You don’t need to be an expert designer to get it done. You just need to work with one.

I help those transitioning from the corporate world to entrepreneurship to show up with confidence 
and clarity in front of their ideal clients. Let me turn the idea you’ve been sitting on for years into an 
asset that builds your business. 

Work with me to avoid:
❌   wasting time & money on scraping together your own brand
❌   being stuck in a loop & never shipping what you need 
❌   having an “all show and no substance” brand

I know how to get you on the fast track to achieving your goals because I've been where you are.

I moved away from corporate to start my own business in 2019. And I never looked back!

Work with me to:
✅ Give your work a palpable form which elevates your know-how and approach
✅ Build a coherent brand you can use, repurpose, and extend across channels
✅ Get assets that are uniquely yours and which support your professional stance


We'll work together to build you a solid personal brand that serves you for years to come. 
It will be natural, it will feel like YOU and it will tell your story in a way that gets you noticed 
by those you want to work with. 

Working with me means having a partner you can count on. 
I'm in it for the long-term, so my clients feel comfortable leaving creative decision-making to me.

Good things take time, but it’s easier to get there when someone's got your back!
