About Me


I am a Designer who creates visual systems for mobile applications and websites that reinforce branding and great user experience. My strongpoint is taking a brand and pushing its limits across devices and desktop experiences. I am experienced in growing brands, as well as creating new ones.

My proven abilities of leading a team of visuals designers, copywriters and Interaction designers are my strengths. This depth of experience enables me to do any role needed on a project.
