About Me
Soon after she graduated from Miami Ad School, Miruna started her career as an Art Director at Publicis Bucharest. From there, her focus went in the digital field and joined MRM//McCann Bucharest. She recently shifted focus to the tech world and joined Lateral as a Creative Director.
Throughout her career, she has worked for brands like LIDL, Renault, Nissan, Visa, Nestle, Coca-Cola, KFC, OMV, Uber, The Automobile Club of Romania, Paul, etc.
Her work has been recognized at Cannes Lions, D&AD, Eurobest, Golden Drum, New York Festivals, Fibra, Creativity International Awards, Applied Arts Magazine, Summit International Awards, ADDY’S, Young Guns, Internetics and many more.
The FIBRA Awards jury named her “Art Director of the Year” in 2016 and Brand Minds chose her as one of the six Trend Setting Romanian Creatives in 2017.
When Miruna is not working, she plans holidays, is obsessed with number 11, does yoga and offers her design services to numerous family members and friends.
