PROFILE
I am UI designer with 25 years of experience in Graphic Design, highly skilled in Editorial Design, Branding and UI Design with basic knowledge in UX Design. My creativity, eye for aesthetics and experience bring customer oriented design solutions with quick and efficient adaptation. Over the years a relationship of trust has been built with most of my clients and employers, as their companies and/or products where constantly on the center of my interest while communicating the needs and requirements of each design.
