After earning my degree in linguistics, I quickly realized that my true passion was in creation – the only thing I can do for hours without ever getting bored. I switched careers early on and have never looked back since. Currently, I’m part UX/UI designer and part Illustrator. Reflecting on past projects, my favorites have always been those that allowed me to blend my creative skills to translate strategy into an effective language of shape and color. I love vibrant colors, always strive for simplicity and believe that the digital world should be accessible for everyone.…After earning my degree in linguistics, I quickly realized that my true passion was in creation – the only thing I can do for hours without ever getting bored.
