About me
I'm an expert and eclectic digital designer. With my varied work and academic experience I mastered visual and graphic design, UX, qualitative research, testing and analytic skills. My goal is creating beautiful user experiences that delight people, by connecting with their needs and emotions. As freelance Visual and UX designer I have the opportunity to design web and mobile projects, working both in house and agency side. My experience includes UX and visual design for responsive websites, iOs and Android, art direction and quality control with developers and junior designers. I am confident when describing my design process and rationale to stakeholders and clients. I also have a solid experience in video editing. My experiences have taught me how to work as part of a team, and how to cope with the pressure of deadlines while never compromising on the quality of the final product. I'm a tireless learner, always challenging myself to achieve better results and learning new skills.
