I am a graphic designer. I can work well under pressure managing several different projects at once. In my career I have worked for a number of different organizations developing artworks for a variety of different kinds of clients: from cultural to scientific, publishing, tourist and industrial.

My experience covers web design, logos, corporate identity, brochures, packaging and business communication. I am experienced in industry standard packages like the Adobe Suite and XPress and I can manage projects from brief to print.
As I started my career as a web designer I am at easy in designing practical and intuitive GUIs and I can comfortably interact with programmers to get the best results.

I have a good Apple Mac knowledge to the point that I carried out some System Administration tasks for my ex employer, together with teaching how to use design programs to junior members of staff.
