DEVELOPMENT

With over 20 years of experience,
I have helped businesses achieve their goals by delivering innovative experiences and improving internal processes.

Being the founder of two creative agencies for over 15 years, I am self-directed and always looking for creative solutions or workarounds to challenges. My entrepreneurial experience and strong production background in design, development, and animation gives me an uncommon perspective in the enterprise environment.

My production know-how helps me effectively communicate and translate needs between development teams and stakeholders, offering clear plans of action through an agile and iterative framework.
