If you've made it this far, you're likely curious as to how my background in Telecommunications engineering fits into my current business.

You see, being a tech enthusiast is an integral part of who I am. 

I have a passion for learning about innovative solutions, with a particular interest in IoT protocols and Satellite communications. I possess coding skills as well as the ability to create electronic circuits.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "What does this have to do with design?" 
While it may not seem related, I recognized the potential to leverage these skills in the Web3 space.

As a university professor, I often found myself teaching my students about Starlink and other technical topics. At the same time, I began freelancing and creating unique designs for clients around the world.

Despite being referred to as the "youngest teacher," I loved my job.

However, in 2018, I discovered Bitcoin and became in love with it.
One day I decided to focus all my efforts on designing for Web3 business. 

So I did.

And I won’t lie – turning my passion into a business felt incredibly good.
Web3 is the perfect match for creativity and tech.

So, how does being a "University Professor" make me a better Designer than I am today? 
1. It's easier for me to understand the technicalities of Web3.
2. I learnt how to explain complex things easily.
3. It's me being me. Authenticity rules!

Hi! If you're reading this, it's likely because:
👉 You want to turbocharge your growth.
👉 You're a designer looking to improve your skills.
👉 You are a Web3 Recruiter looking for a designer.

After years of freelancing, I saw a gap – a need for design that spoke the language of Web3.

I can effectively communicate complex design concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. I love working collaboratively with developers, product managers, and marketing teams. I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow as a designer. 

Building in the decentralized world comes with unique challenges. You need to stand out in a crowded marketplace, foster trust with a new audience, and create interfaces that are intuitive and secure. That's where I come in.

Here's how I help you win in Web3:

✅ Web3 Marketing: Create compelling marketing materials that drive adoption and engagement.
