I was born on the very last day of 1979 — a clear sign that I was meant to meet every deadline right from the start.

I created my first fanzine when I was nine, but it wasn’t until my university years that I realized I wanted to become a graphic designer. Somewhere between lectures and late-night study sessions, I began designing websites, cards, and catalogs for local businesses.

From that moment on, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

My first professional role as a designer came in 2006, at a local newspaper.

Almost twenty years later, I’ve explored many areas of visual communication — across different media, styles, and ideas — yet I still carry the same curiosity and passion that sparked it all.

Here’s how it all unfolded.

Skills

Print Design

Print has always felt like home to me. Over the years, I’ve worked on everything from magazines and catalogues to special editions and packaging — projects where every texture, fold, and finish matters.

Tools: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign

Web, UI & Social

I approach digital design as an experience — from the first wireframe to the final click. I enjoy shaping how people interact with what they see, whether it’s a website, an app, or a simple post that tells a story in a single image.

Tools: Adobe XD (now retired), Adobe Express, Figma, WordPress, Joomla

Video, 3D & Sound

I’m not a motion designer by trade, but I love motion. Over time I’ve learned my way around editing, animation, and 3D graphics — just enough to give motion and depth to my visuals when the project calls for it.

Tools: Premiere, After Effects, Audition, Animate, Cinema 4D, Dimension, Logic Pro

My secret life

Creativity doesn’t stop at the office — it’s woven into everything I do.

When I’m not designing, I’m a father, a game designer, an author, and an avid reader. I also make music — though, to be honest, not with much success.
