As well as bringing to fruition my everlasting zest for illustration.Thus, I’m visually trained with a proficient sense of colour and composition, besides a great eye for aesthetics.I have studied and worked in multiple countries and in different languages. Thanks to this I have a high sensitivity to different customs, cultures and perspectives. My previous job as project manager ensured my skills in organizing and motivating teams as well as resolving conflicts through assertiveness and great communication, foundation for the core empathy needed as a UX designer.Furthermore, through my last work as a Junior Web Designer I have sharpened my ability to synthesize.
