Passionate about minimalist design, atomic design, typography, vectors and white space. Comfortable with both 8pt rule and responsive fonts.

Fixated with light, scalable and resusable code. Expert in HTML5 and CSS3 via SASS. Comfortable with PHP and jQuery. I like BEM, Bootstrap and CodeKit.

UX Design

Usability and accessibility come first. Before designing, I like addressing strategy, purpose and all aspects of a product as perceived by users.

Back-end development

Best friends with WordPress and a MySQL database. Able to create, configure and maintain web environments, both local and on production.

Logo Design

Whether it’s using a hard grid or the golden ratio, I enjoy creating simple and usable logos that still sport a smart meaning and scope.

I love taking pictures, edit them in Lightroom and manipulating them in Photoshop. Applying the rule of thirds in the studio or on location.
