Resume
I’m a digital design professional focusing on service design, omnichannel user experience, usability, product development and visual design. My background is in industrial design and product development processes, but for over a decade I have been working mainly for digital mediums. In the future I hope I could mix more spatical, haptic and interior design to my digital design roles.
