SUMMARY

I'm a multifaceted interface designer with 8 years of experience in the field. I have a

background in Fine Arts but have been coding HTML and CSS since I started my

professional career.

to deliver the best user experience.

I've worked in many projects driving the design and development process from inception

to completion, with teams of various sizes, in agency, corporate and startup settings.

organization and planning, and possess great project management skills.

My specialties are: Interface Application Design, Responsive Design, Product Design,

Wire-framing, Prototyping, Style Guide, CSS, SASS, HTML, Usability.
