Next, you will organize the content of the web portfolio and you will make the paper sketches on the architecture of the information, basically some 'wireframes' made by hand.

I have always been passionate about digital design, although I also appreciate the traditional part of design, as I had the opportunity to learn both. Since I studied design, I liked the idea of designing for the screen, of organizing content and showing it efficiently. I have worked in many projects, both web, print, motion and other digital surfaces such as digital television service applications.
