Jr Web Dev. + Graphic Designer

Curious and passionate, my journey began in music Music archive , where I discovered the importance of storytelling through melodies. This thirst for learning then led me to digital coordination Digital coordinator checklist , a field I explored as a self-learner, seeking to combine creativity and technology to meet real-world needs. Over time, I redirected my skills toward graphic design and then web development to deepen my knowledge and better understand the tools that enable creation.

Today, as a versatile creative, I continue to learn and experiment, driven by the desire to create simple and useful visual solutions to tackle everyday challenges.
