Description

**My Portfolio:

Creative Director, designer, and developer with 20+ years of hands-on experience creating digital products. I’ve lived and worked on three continents, working with teams and clients to craft work that’s both visually distinctive and technically solid.

Currently leading the Creative team at Dione Solutions, an international digital design and development studio focused on AI-driven, cloud, and infrastructure solutions for the Japanese market.

My background spans website and product design, mobile apps and games, real-time 3D, and interactive experiences. I work fluently with modern front-end stacks (Svelte/SvelteKit, React/Next.js, Three.js, Vue, etc) and a broad creative toolkit (Midjourney, Figma, Adobe CC, Blender, Unity, Webflow, etc).

A big part of my job is keeping track of new tools figuring out which ones would help us improve our workflow.
