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 firmly believe that every pixel, every line of code, and every color choice should serve a purpose, connecting users with products and brands in meaningful ways.

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

Front-End Design & Development

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.
