Introduction
I talk about my failures openly. I am not afraid to share my ideas, I’m friendly – don’t be shy to reach out. I love helping out. I believe that making mistakes is a good thing. It’s the only way to learn what works vs what doesn’t, not to mention that it forms the shape of who we are.
Hobbies
I spend a lot of my time skateboarding, checking out spots across the nation from East to West. Some of my personal favorite skate spots are in Chicago, London, and Brooklyn. Other then skateboarding, I write poetry that I never published but hoping to one day. I’m a big fan of photography and own a decent Canon and an old-school Polaroid. I enjoy editing fashion editorials as it gets me hyped up and full of creative inspiration. As for my photography.. I prefer to photograph personal experiences, 99.9% black and white. I’m a frequent-traveler, food lover, I play the guitar and I tried to sing but it’s really awful and you shouldn’t hear me. I’m very outgoing, extremely social, I love to network.
Skills
I speak Hebrew fluently, some German and am currently (trying) to learn French, oui!, oui!. I specialize in graphic design, branding, marketing, advertising, SEO, social media, HTML5/CSS3, PHP, jQuery, Javascript, mySQL, Ajax. I am a self-taught coder & designer. I am very moved by design, fashion & art and that reflects to my creations which you can see across the web (even that at times I do not take credit for my creations) but I’ve helped put together many great entities that I am truly proud of.
I was interviewed by PMc Magazine, FashionNotes, SAY Daily, Film Industry Network, Entrepreneurship, Daily Host News, The WHIR, and I made some appearances here, here, here, here, here, and here. I’ve also appeared on NBC, and CNN regarding the influence of blogging and social media as well as Lucky Magazines’ fashion week event alongside to Rebecca Minkoff and Nicole Miller, also, this happened. Yes, I know.
I designed/developed The GROUND Mag & it’s custom-built social network, FACTORY311′s image licensing site, Ubiquity Servers, Ubiquity Hosting, and Motion Control Panel. I also contribute to Gabfire Themes.
