Skills and Interests
As a designer I take pride in infusing tech and art. I'm all about creative solutions and thrive on challenges that continuously evolve my toolkit. . Adapting to the ever-changing design landscape drives me to create innovative experiences that turn artistic visions into awe-inspiring realities.
Proficient in product and visual design, research, branding, and graphic design, I bring ideas to life with striking visuals and seamless user experiences. Data visualization and basic HTML skills complement my repertoire. I'm always eager to learn new skills too, currently I'm exploring motion graphics and animation.
My love for music fuels my creativity, keeping me in the zone as I work. I often listen to Lo-Fi beats during work hours.
In my spare time, you can find me at a concert, on a hiking adventure, or making memories with my loved ones.
