PERSONAL SKILLS
• I’m very interested in visual communication and new media, and focusing my research on sound and video-making. I have collaborated at performances based on the interaction between digitally processed music and the theatre, thus realising the software applications’ potential and then decided to expand on this field participating at courses of Interaction design at my university.
• Sound manipulation is one of my passions. After a workshop on physical computing held by Yaniv Steiner I’ve built my own guitar controller (guitar gently weeps)
• I like computing. I’m  learning  how to present my design projects using codes.
• I’m an expert of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I’m skilled with video and audio softwares the like of Ableton Live, Cubase, Adobe After-Effect, Premier and Adobe Flash. I’m discovering and learning computing languages such as PD and Max/msp, and also programming with Processing and ActionScript 2. I am a  beginner in physical computing and wiring, but improving all the time.
