Started working as a freelance graphic designer around 1995, at the age of 21. Not much work experience at that time, so I was dependent of a handful of few friends to sort me out with a few tips and projects.
Did involve myself with all sorts of interesting projects, some of them while working full-time. Gone around graphic printers, publishers, marketing agencies, nightclubs, bars and kind of arty stuff, I wasn’t short of ideas only short of “key people” to get results.

Mastering the art of Photoshop, illustrator and QuarkXpress, I felt unbeatable but this was on my “backyard”, my neighbourhood, I wanted something more “internationally” spiced up, so I came to the UK for a bit more schooling on the design matter.
Years later, when the full impact of the web was visible, I started creating web pages and experimenting with multimedia, by that time I discovered Macromedia’s creative studio, Dreamweaver, flash, fireworks and director, this was 1999, the turn of the century.

 

By 2000, I re-gain my passion for 3D, modelling and animating something virtual was something I always liked to play with, started self teaching 3D StudioMax, prefer this as an alternative to Maya, Bryce and Lightwave, it was very easy to learn, handle and simple GUI.
My experiences on the UK were, indeed, very fruitful, absorbed the lingo, listened the music beats, met people from around the world.

On these days, I work freelance mostly online, getting projects by email is the quickest, cheapest and environmental way to work, still like to do my own things, my experiments and still keeping in touch with my arty side.
