I worked many years as a bartender and barista, and after some amateur projects, I come to an idea to change my life and start to walk professionally in the design field. After finishing my first step (finishing design academy), I was working 4 years as a freelancer and almost 4 years in a software development and marketing company.
During this time I upgraded my skills and work on a lot of projects: logos, branding, flyers, roll-up banners, stands, e-books, book covers, business cards, restaurant menus, brochures, icons, web banners, WordPress websites, custom changes in HTML and CSS, animations, HTML animations, social media static/animation designs…etc.
Of course, I learned how to communicate and received feedback from clients, how to be a team player, self-organized, and to find a real way to finish a project with a perfect and unique product.
