[ Why Hire Me? ]
If you have made it this far, then you have or you are about to review my work. It won't tell you everything about me, but what it will show you is that over the years, experience and better understanding of fundamental design principles helped me understand the innovation behind the art of design. I am always redefining my approach to design solutions so that I may fit the needs of the ever-changing market.
I have come in contact with many influences and taken something from each Industry expanding my understanding of the design process. I have succeeded as much as i have failed and will continue the growth cycle of a designer learning from my mistake and accomplishments.
I am more than my portfolio.
Even with the collection of skills and knowledge I currently posses, there is still an inevitable learning curb that comes with joining a new company, team or project that is achieving a common goal. I can say that I know enough to contribute, but not so much that I can't mold myself to your culture. that balance is where i tactically stand out.
