Interests

I consider it important to develop my creative skills along with my technical skills. For this reason I studied guitar for 2 years and still play on my own frequently. I enjoy drawing, specially cartoons and comics, and producing digital artwork using Photoshop and 3D animation software such as 3DS Max. I also enjoy computer gaming, reading, movies and travelling.
