PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
I am a self-taught Graphic/Web Designer. I passionately and ambitiously aim to deliver the best design solution possible by patiently doing research, understanding client / product's branding, being resourceful, being attentive to detail and thinking out of the box. Throughout my 11 years of professional experience, I managed to get out of my comfort zone and keep up with the trends while still having my own point of view.
