My Background
With over 15 years of design experience, I have worked on a vast range of products and in various industries. I started doing art and design at a young age and competed in several competitions. I carried this love for art into my career. At first, by defining my design skills, and later combining my art and design. Even though I find great joy in art and design, I also have a fondness for numbers and data. I took several years to do in-depth studies of web design, web development, data analysis, and even mathematics. As the years went by I slowly started combining all my skills together into what is now the brand stain_ art and design.
