Profile: https://flows.cv/ramun

I am passionate about clean, beautiful, and delightful designs and strive for simplicity and clarity even when tackling the most complex problems. My 15+ years of combined experience in graphic, exhibit, and interaction design in both freelance and team settings make me a flexible designer, able to take on a variety of tasks in all kinds of situations. I am keen to contribute my skills to projects that have a positive impact on the environment and our health.

Along with design, I am also an avid photographer, maker, and outside adventurer.
