About

A designer at heart. I guess that's really all that you need to know. Design has always been my passion ever since I discovered Photoshop all those years ago. And over these past couple of years, I changed design from something that I love to do to something that I want to.

I also learned it's more than just knowing your way around Photoshop or any software for that matter. It's problem solving. We have to find solutions. We, at our cores, are creativists and problem-solvers.

And I guess the rush I get when faced with a new challenge and the satisfaction gained upon solving it, is what keeps me wanting more.
