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 companies 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.
