Who Am I?

Graphic designer
I am a person with an open mind and heart. I am not a perfectionist but I like order and cleanliness not only in everyday life. Whenever I have the opportunity, I help others to achieve their goals or strategies.
I love my small family, dedicating a lot of time to them. In my spare time, I try to realize my dreams and give my passions like photography, cycling, and piloting flying drones.
