CURRENT PLAY
My gateway to design was my love of expression—listening for people, formulating thoughts, performing service. The knowledge and science surrounding communication, human perception, and creativity fascinates me to this day.
It was many years of work in the media—first as a journalist, then as a video editor for TV shows and documentaries, finally a multimedia designer—that instilled a deep respect for the power of a well-designed experience. I love participating in the planning, filming, post-production, and collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams. We transform imaginations and abstract ideas into a captivating and memorable experience that resonates with audiences.
The passion and curiosity about mediums people utilize to express their thoughts and the dynamic interplay between them drove me to enroll in recent post-degree study in web and mobile design and development. I have applied my design expertise throughout the technical constraints of development. This shared understanding has motivated me to craft solutions that harmonize functionality and visual allure, while remaining firmly grounded in real-world feasibility.
Being in an organization is important to me, as that's the place where I can find connections and be able to serve the common purpose. No one can function alone, especially when aiming to achieve something great, and groups provide this possibility. I was encouraged to excel as an individual in my profession, while I also find the greatest fulfillment and happiness when collaborating with others to contribute to a larger purpose.
