About
Having been obsessed with learning about and designing graphics at a young age, I always knew a future in a creative field was inevitable. Starting with my small experimental projects on paint, I've expanded my knowledge in a wide array of different tools for all types of design.
While completing my degree in Computer Science, I became captivated by the whole process of software development. Not only did it satisfy my ethusiasm for design, it also sparked an excitement for building a whole product that had a purpose and solve real problems.
Having the opportunity to help create solutions for people whether that's to showcase their talents to the world or sell a product online to the millions, is a big passion of mine. Truly taking the time to learn about the customer insight and the problem space is the key to delivering solutions in an engaging, iterative and efficient approach.
