A little about me

Introduction

I am a multi-disciplinary designer with over 10 years of experience working at businesses both large and small. My journey in this field has given me a profound appreciation for the power of design in enhancing user experiences, solving complex problems, and elevating brand identity. I believe that every pixel and every line of code should serve a purpose, connecting users with products and brands in meaningful ways.

When i'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new locations, and discovering new music. I'm very passionate about web technologies and design, and love to build new products and memorable experiences.

Once the design is ready, it's time to take the concept live. I transform any design to a high-quality, responsive, and assessible end product that is always pixel-perfect.

My passion and strengths involve cutting-edge CSS ( BEM, SASS, Grid), HTML + JS.

I also love to teach and review CSS - keeping it tidy, modern, and most importantly, in parity with the design.
