Over the past decade and a half, I’ve been fortunate enough to take part in a really diverse collection of projects, ranging from creating games, commercials, short movies, 2 and 3D animations, GUIs for cool technologies (Next - next generation televisions and mobile phones mainly), as well as designing the instruction manual for a missile turret to be mounted on a South Korean warships (True story).
All of these experiences have made me a very versatile designer with some great skills, who is actively seeking new opportunities to exercise creativity “outside of the box”.
New development - it's a small world after all:
As of 2014, I am eligable for work on the EU and am willing to relocate for a job.
Fluent in both Hebrew and English.
