about.me()
AKA PI-oons ( Parvu Ionut - cartoons ), I'm a freelance Graphic Designer based in Glasgow and, I've recently completed a coding traineeship to start a new career as a developer.
I'm passionate about bringing both the technical and visual aspects of digital products to life.
Beautiful pixels and writing clean code matters to me.
I am also
"sweating" the details, creative, easy going, determined, a team player and a fast-learner
I have been
developing my skills and pursuing my passion in coding since September 2020. After gaining skills, knowledge and an official Microsoft certificate I successfully developed two projects based on real-world
concepts:
Gazetteer and Company Directory
Away from the keyboard
I like watching movies, playing football, reading and, if I'm lucky I grab a few moments to play video games

PI-oons was fantastic to work with. He did an amazing job interpreting my ideas and my final logo is even better than I could have imagined. He was very communicative and willing to do tweak after tweak until we got the exact right design.
