Description

I will share my experience as a professional who has ventured into multiple fields, from iconography and sound design to cinematography and 3D animation. While some might perceive being a jack of all trades as a disadvantage, I believe that versatility can bring unique advantages in today's fast-paced and ever-evolving technology landscape.
