PROFILE
:: Strengths
My strengths are in generating concept and ideas, creating visual design, making interaction flows and sketching the scenarios. I’m able to work alone with a positive can-do attitude, but I’ve a lot of fun when I’m working in team. I particularly like to focus on the concept of the projects, following it until the development of scenarios and visual style as interfaces and icons. I think in terms of User Experience; I like finding relations and connections between different fields. I am interested in interaction and visual design with a particular focus on services design.
