STRENGTHS
I’m strong in concept generation: I like to deeply analyze social issues and challenge myself solving them with bright ideas, or constructively joining different proposals into a successful solution. Once the idea is defined, digital prototypes coding is always my main task: I like smooth interfaces and engaging devices. As soon as the project is done I usually take care of the visual communication: I was the director and editor of all my team works’ video promos and scenarios.
