I have dedicated a good part of my interests in growing and mastering the Word Craft art. I have written articles, reviewed product texts and translated texts. I have specialized in writing poetry and short stories. Outside of job and hobby work, I have also dedicated my time in hosting D&D (dungeons and dragons) sessions for which I did the following:
- Mindmap a narrative starting from a basic idea
- Plan basic prompts to use in player encounters
- Pre-write the environment, static encounters in accordance with audience profile
- Craft and shape NPCs (non-player characters) for the narrative
When working on the written content, I start by gathering information online from various sources and use to a GenAI tool to get a head start in its creation. The text generated by the AI is then weaved together with the research and then adapted manually before publishing it so that the text can be easy to understand and without a robotic voice.
In more recent years I have began the journey of expressing through visual work such as collages, banners, video edits and more. So far, I have specialized in image editing and creating an image from scratch. Currently, I am channeling my efforts into specializing in UX/UI Design.
Tools I have mastered, continue to learn and use in projects:
• Photoshop / Illustrator
• Canva
• Figma / Figjam / Mirro / InVision / Balsamiq
The banner created for this portfolio page was put together with assets downloaded from Canva and crafted through a trio of Photoshop/Canva/Figma.
Additionally, on occasion I enjoy diving into some 3D as well only to unwind in softwares such as 3dsMax and ZBrush.

My skills in design are ever growing with each project (personal or otherwise). As an example, please find below an animated portrait I have created in Photoshop for my Twitch Stream profile:
Who I am and what I can do
Vigilant
Whenever tackling a situation, alone in as a team, my focus is on identifying the most viable and cost-free solution to resolve the problem.
The dogma I abide by is simple and passed down to me from others I've collaborated with: "It can be done until the last possible fix is exhausted."Creative
I manifest my genuine artistic vision through written and visual handiwork, but also by tackling other activities, such as problem solving, teamwork or plannings, through a creative approach.
A high level of attention to even the finer details contributes in juggling with ideas, solutions and social relations in day to day activities - work or personal related.Collaborative
I strive working in a well established environment and consider fast-paced environments challenges which prompt learnings and growth.
Being a team player defines me the most, but I also enjoy being the host (taking initiative).Thorough
By adopting an unbiased mindset, I manifest a 360° perspective and manage to focus on achieving goals rapidly.
Such an approach helps with research activities such as analyzing user interviews, shaping a user persona, creating user flows or sitemaps, etc.
