Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No. It’s me and Sushi, the flaky PM cat!*

When he’s not sleeping, eating or sleeping after eating, you can find him looking over my shoulder, offering design critique while I work my Figma files, or on top of the keyboard, making unopinionated changes at the most inopportune times. He’s definitely the worst project manager I’ve ever worked with, and also the furriest.

Aged to Perfection 🍷💎

I graduated as a Multimedia Specialist, when it was still a fancy buzzword. The web was starting to shift away from looking like the love child between a Word document and an Excel spreadsheet, 800×600 was the norm, Flash was all the rage and everybody carried a Nokia brick in their pocket.

Having been through so many changes and advancements has made me a designer who can wear many hats and is always willing to learn new things. I’m quick to adapt and thrive in multidisciplinary environments.

From Student Desks to Office Chairs

I built my career working in educational environments, but I’m recently switching things up and trying my luck to get into the corporate world. Over the past ten years, I’ve also been freelancing as a web designer, working in a variety of projects. It’s been an adventure filled with late-night coding sessions, pixel-perfect designs, and less sleep than I’d like to admit.

On top of all that, I’ve recently added UX/UI design to my skill set, which I’m hoping will give me an edge in my new career. I’m excited to bring my creativity, adaptability, and problem-solving skills to the table (and maybe even make my colleagues smile from time to time).
