I've been in this tech world professionally for ~25 years! Damn, time flies!

I started as a full-stack developer and designer. We used to be called Webmasters then : ). Later in my career, I decided to focus primarily on design.  

I worked in any environment you can imagine from 1 man start-ups as a sole designer and developer to the world's largest Tier 1 investment bank as a Senior Vice President of Design, Creative Lead, Design Manager and everything in between.

I have been through a lot and I have seen a lot!

I mentored a lot of designers at any level from Juniors to Seniors.

Now I want to widen my circle and help more designers in their career journey via online efforts like my newsletter, ebooks and courses.

Let's grow your value and income as a Designer together.
