GRAPHIC DESIGN
I am a designer who has a thorough grasp on contemporary design trends and practices. With an experience in graphic design spanning more than a decade, I mainly focus on designing magazines, newspaper layouts, logos, brochures, book covers, and just about everything in between.
WEB DESIGN
The greatest advantage I hold proudly is that I am interested in just about everything on the web, and believe in building systems, no just layouts. This has translated to the creation of fine-tuned, flexible and functional websites in various platforms to support the business requirements of clients over the past 4 years.
EXPERIENCE
More than 10 years of experience in the design industry. With a strong background in visualizing ideas from start to completion, I have achieved a high rate of success in executing concepts related to design and layout for newspapers, magazines, webpages, social media projects and books, in a highly innovative manner. I also consider myself to be adept at leveraging and combining all media to promote a brand. I believe in viewing problems from the user and consumer point of view and crafting solutions that gives emphasis to brand value, experience design and technology.
