About

Let's dig in. What makes me tick?

Man smiling with hand in pocket

My beginnings were in product design and the fascination stemmed from my love of building/creating things. It was also heavily influenced by musical instruments building and comics (weird combo! I know...). Between developing websites, mobile applications, creating logos, brand identities, and riding my bycicle, I spend most of my time in front of a screen. Some of my passions are writing nice clean code, creating meaningful user experiences and designing beatiful UIs.

I'm always interested in continuous improvement and keen on the detail. I'm a curious, avid and methodic explorer and student of the new trends on all things design and code. I really like to get involved in the team's work and on the company's objectives. I aim for simplicity and objectivity while being focused, highly productive and process oriented.
