Interests

Apart from being a freelance digital designer, I enjoy most of my time either tinkering with electronics and being outdoors. My off days are spent sketching, playing and restoring old Nintendo consoles and games, and walking around and taking photos of New York City.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the digital design world.
