Before moving to USA in 2021, I lived several countries and cities through out the 2010s. From Oulu, Finland to Crete, Greece, I have had the fortune to meet people from all kinds of cultures, igniting my curiosity for visual communication.
When I was 10 years old, I attended a summer camp where we got to play around with Macromedia Flash. This was the first time I dabbled with digital art. I began creating animations that became increasingly complex as time went on. I learned about all the different avenues of multimedia by creating short films with friends and by composing songs.
I began my college years studying Digital Media, a multidisciplinary program of Audiovisual Communications. After the first year, I knew I wanted to direct my focus on UX and Web. After I graduated in 2012, I became a sole proprietor and began my career as a Freelance Designer. For the next few years, I would pick up website projects here and there.
As I grew and my skills across different digital mediums increased, I decided to take a leap and see what I could become in my second home, America.
Soon after moving the US, I completed a Coding Bootcamp from Vanderbilt University, where I learned how to write elegant Javascript, work with Bootstrap and build interactive websites with Node. This gave me more foundational knowledge in Web Development, which aided me in becoming what I am today.
In 2022, I joined Specialty Dental Brands, a rapidly growing Dental Support Organization aiming to revolutionize Dental Healthcare through a strong network of individually branded practices. At Specialty Dental Brands, I directly developed a streamlined design process that efficiently produced websites that repeatedly ranked at the top of search engines and with outstanding client satisfaction.
