About
I'm a design / creative director with a background on visual design, with experience in product design, UX, and design strategy. I'm passionate about the craft, pixel perfect and detail oriented, but never compromising deadlines or project objectives.
I've led teams of designers, illustrators, motion designers, and UX'ers, where I've not only oversaw their work but strived to inspire them, and grow their creative talent which is the most rewarding aspect for me).
I've also frequently bridged between creatives and the tech teams, as I'm always eager to learn, research and understand the technical challenges that might come up with new products.
I've also been very client-facing, conducting presentations, stakeholder interviews, joint workshops, etc.
I’m always open to new challenges. Have one that you think I might be a good match? Get in touch with me. :-)
