Mission Statement
Having adopted the internet since its beginning, I have become passionate about technology and how it interacts
with people. I’m constantly seeking ways to solve problems. I believe a good design is the one where technology
adopts to people instead of people adopting to technology. Good design happens when we empathize with people
and understand their perspectives. My ideal position would be one where I can explore new technology and adapt
it to the client and users’ needs.
