I'm a designer and a developer

My goal is always to establish the perfect union between communication, arts and technology. I use an interdisciplinary approach in my workflows to create compelling and inventive experiences in all media, especially digital interfaces.

I believe that my ability to bring innovative ideas and positive improvements to multiple areas of a project makes me a great asset to any team. Wearing many hats is very familiar to me and something I genuinely enjoy.
