I have been working as a visual communicator for the past 16 years and I still feel the same excitement of a new challenge every time I receive a new brief. I enjoy putting my design skills to find solutions that create experiences, build empathy, facilitate understanding, document stories and make a stand. I am also a design educator, which challenges my design curiosity and allows me to share my design passion and experience.
I enjoy the design outcome as much as the process. I believe that a project driven by a thorough analysis and an adaptable approach leads to a solid solution.
