TL;DR:
A Graphic Designer with years of experience in both agency and in-house life. Most recently, a member of the production department of a translation and interpretation company. I've worked on projects ranging from multinational brands to local political campaigns. I have overseen a production department of 6 to 20 designers, developers, and A/V specialists.
From time to time, I also enjoy oil painting and watching awful B-movies.
A little more:
I went to art school, twice. I even studied design and art history in Italy at one point. I began my career as an in-house designer, creating package design, marketing materials, and blog posts. Later, I moved to agency life, working on a little bit of everything, even audio/video editing. I then pivoted to localization, where I did all of the aforementioned things, but in a lot of other languages. I like a challenge.
More! More! More!:
I can’t swim, not even with arm floaties and an inflatable zebra. My favorite smells are fresh laundry, closely followed by fresh coffee. I have never seen “The Godfather” trilogy, but I know every line from “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” As a musician, I have had the chance to perform under the Eiffel Tower. I wear glasses not to look smart, but because my eyes are broken. And lastly, I have a small indoor jungle of houseplants. Would you like one, or five?
