Since mid-1990s, I’ve deployed my knowledge of visual communication in service of many different industries. As a common point, always leveraging designs as servants to a better communication and experience in any user interaction.
My expertise spans many domains. I’m 2D/3D animator, graphic designer, visual effects artist, motion designer, digital photographer, and UX/UI specialist. I am also a curious and nearly self-taught programmer, playing around in several different programming languages. Over the years, I have integrated all of these skills to produce a variety of videos, printed and digital media, exhibition materials, and interactive installations for numerous projects and companies.
I have three Bachelor’s degrees: one in Graphic Design, another in Architecture and Urbanism, and the most recent, BFA Computation Arts.
