SKILLS
I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale—a mouthful that basically means I know how to make things look good and work well. This foundation gave me a solid grasp of the principles behind effective interaction design, helping me create visuals that marry aesthetics with functionality (without the drama).
