Resume

I am a strategic and conceptual thinker with a passion for storytelling and pushing creative boundaries. I enjoy selling ideas as much as I love crafting them and I believe the strongest ideas come from a solid team and constant iteration. When it comes to design solutions, I like to know the why before arriving at the what or how. I’m very keen on streamlining processes, but always with a cautious eye to that fine line between efficiency and stagnation.
