About

Art Director / Designer connecting visual communication, retail design, and digital experience.

I am Florin Ciocănel, an Art Director / Designer with 25+ years of experience in advertising, packaging, brand identity, POSM, website design, and commercial visual communication.

Senior visual communication background

My professional experience was built in advertising and commercial design, across packaging, branding, POSM, retail-facing communication, campaign materials, website design, visual hierarchy, and client-facing creative projects.

This shaped the way I work: design as a method for organizing information, guiding attention, and clarifying communication.

Current direction

I am currently repositioning toward roles connected with Retail CX, Digital Experience, Customer Journey thinking, and AI-Assisted Design Workflows.

This is not a break from my previous work. It is an extension of it: packaging, retail materials, websites, and campaign systems are all customer-facing touchpoints.

What I bring

I bring senior visual judgment, commercial design experience, packaging and retail communication knowledge, layout discipline, and the ability to connect visual systems with user- or customer-facing communication needs.
