About me

My UI/UX journey began during my studies when I started working on video game projects as a UI Designer during my studies in 2013. Since then I've been working on several personal and client projects. My commercial work experience is 4-years. I have a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree in Interactive Animation. I've been using Figma and Adobe CC for a long time and I stay up to date with the latest design trends and the latest versions of Figma and Adobe CC. My clients have always been satisfied with the work I deliver. MY CREATIVITY FORMULA: Replacement + math + (exaggeration) = creativity
