I’m an architect, an information designer and master of design student who wants to change the way people look at the world and to make it more accessible for others.
I really believe that in order to have a great design the ideas need to be analyzed and exposed in a unique way, and I think that the user should be the main focus of design; since making his life easier is my job.
How do I do that? Well I like to create infographics to explain my projects and to self-train in different software. This gives me the option of having multiple choices on how to do one thing and that really amazes me.
