Introduction
I'm a young, energetic and dynamic designer in search of new and innovative ways to learn as much as possible of the industry of media and digital art. I'm fast learning, easy going, a team player when I need to be as well as an independent worker always trying to find new ways to speed up my work and show it to others to help them achieve the same results.
