Hey-Yo Neighbour!

Nice to meet you, I'm Chris 😄

I was born in Italy but I have been an inhabitant within England for almost five years so I am efficient in communicating with individuals outside of my native language. Last year I graduated university obtaining a First Class with Honours in Graphic Design. Within my final year of degree and end of 2022 I've been studying UX & UI Design. From January of this year I am also studying Front-End Development and I am currently enrolled in a Web Development Bootcamp and in the meanwhile I keep working on Graphics!
