Favourite movie?
Mmm… I think is Persepolis… I really loved “Elle” as well

Hanging out with friends, going to gigs, reading comics and printing designs using silkscreen.

What do you like best about working for OptiCommerce?
I like the team that I work with – that’s definitely the best part. I think we are getting along with each other really well and that makes solving any obstacle much easier. We are a powerful team with various expertise and all compliment each other’s skillsets well.

How did you get into the design industry?
I was interested on graphic design since I started to study Marketing and PR at University. I took every subject relating to design, photography, video camera, creativity. During the summer, I started working at a local newspaper/publishing house and I really loved the vibe. The more I learned the more I wanted to know so I decided to continue my education just focusing on graphic design. That is why I studied my Master Degree in Graphic and Web Design.

Pizza or burgers?
I can’t decide… But I want a burger now.
