On the side, I experiment with cutting-edge technologies like AI generated content and imagery and write about what I learn on different publications
Currently, I work at Backyard Studios where I design and build digital products for our end clients using the skillsets mentioned above. I am a willing team player and I can act as a glue to align cross-functional teams across design and development since I have and understand both skillsets extensively.
Projects
We built SWAGDAT, an awesome online fashion store that we built for our client using WordPress. The website has a cool design that works great on any device, so you can check it out on your phone or computer. Buying stuff is safe and secure, and we've got a bunch of clothes, accessories, and shoes with nice pictures and details. You can make an account, share your favorite finds on social media, and even get personalized recommendations. The site is easy to update, thanks to WordPress, and we made sure it shows up on search engines.
