Path
I’m a designer at core. I taught myself to code and ran a studio, shipping MVPs for startups, and was creative director at one that was later acquired.Then I joined a big product company as a designer, switched to full-time frontend, and fell in love with it.Since then I’ve helped a handful of startups and kept building products of my own. The rest is in my CV.
I’m embracing the AI era. The ideas I can explain, I can build, for myself or for someone else.
Teaching
Alongside all of it, I taught design & frontend basics to B.Des. students at Shenkar. A branded HTML/CSS course for designers caught on too.
Awards
Adobe Design Achievement Award.
