I am a digital designer and front-end web developer, based in London. I graduated from Brunel University, with a BSc degree in Multimedia Technology & Design. I consider myself a digital native, with a passion for design, user experience and clean functional code. Having had the opportunity to work in various roles in the digital and creative industry, it has given me an insightful and holistic view of the industry. Coming from a design-based background, I've grown a real appreciation for user-experience and finer details. Being a developer, has given me a real sense of understanding of the development life cycle. Both of these combined, has contributed to my growth and has helped me move forward in this dynamic digital era. As an opportunist, I like good ideas. Most importantly, I enjoy working with people - helping bringing ideas to life. I run my own online start-up business, as well as working on various web and mobile projects. I hope one day I can see some of the projects I've worked on flourish. But ideally, I'd like to start my own digital agency one day.
