Avant-Garde
I am an innovator. As we progress into the Information Age, I take pride in working with upcoming trends rather than recreating what has already been done today.
Autodidact
I am self-taught. Skills such as Motion Graphics and UX/UI design have been learned from my own perseverance (with the help of a few awesome mentors of course).
Philosophile
I am always curious about the world around me and reading is one of the best ways to do that. I’m always on a book per week challenge and will talk your ear off about what I’m currently reading.
Ludiphile
I am a gamer. I love video games (Ludiphile is my own created word). It’s a passion I’ve had since I was 5 years old. Interactive mediums such as video games will be the way of the future sooner than we know.
