I have always been drawn to the sweet spot where creativity meets technology. Starting with a diploma in Graphic Design and hands-on freelance work, I learned to communicate ideas clearly, both visually and verbally, while building a solid creative foundation. This curiosity led me to apply design thinking to website and application development, where I could shape digital experiences that are both aesthetically engaging and technically robust. Today I work at a marketing agency where I build, maintain, and optimize websites across WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, and Magento. I regularly incorporate AI-driven tools to improve efficiency, problem-solving, and development workflows, ensuring I stay aligned with modern industry practices while collaborating with clients and internal teams to deliver fast, accessible digital experiences.
