I am a passionate graphic designer, web designer, and front-end developer specializing in clean and modern interfaces with an emphasis on usability and search engine optimization. I currently reside in Boston, MA. Having previously studied computer and mechanical engineering, before receiving my Certificate in Graphic and Web Design from Boston University Center for Digital Imaging Arts, I have acquired a distinct set of skills that come from working both sides of the brain. I am a creative problem solver that would be more than happy to help you out with your next project.
