STRENGHTS

My main strengths are in generating concepts and ideas, designing interaction flows, sketching scenarios and designing little big UI details. Recently I found myself passionate for using a design thinking approach to organization and business problems. I enjoy working with other people, sharing knowledges and skills. I am very enthusiastic when I can merge physical and digital worlds.

I’m experienced with Adobe Suite CS5.5 especially with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro and After Effects. I achieved some satisfactory results programming with Processing and Arduino. I also had some basic experience in using Flash AS3.
