Ugh, talking about oneself is always a challenge, isn't it? Anyway, let me give you a quick rundown of who I am and what I do. From my academic journey to how I arrived at this point.
About me
Who I am
Hey there! I'm Julian, originally from La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina—quite a leap from where I find myself now. Since I was a kid, I've been obsessed with taking apart toys (sorry to my brothers!) and putting them back together, always curious about how things work and why they look the way they do.
At 9 years old, I joined an Arts School in my city, where I got into all sorts of classes like literature (Greek mythology is my jam, but let's save that for another day), drama, pottery, drawing, music, you name it.
My journey into the digital world began early; my first website was made when I was just 12 years old. From that point on, I embarked on a self-taught journey into programming, honing my skills through online resources like YouTube and, later, formal education at university.
As my academic journey progressed, I decided to pursue a degree in Multimedia Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts (UNLP), a path that unexpectedly — or not, really — extended to seven years and me signing up for a second degree to teach design. Yeah, I guess you could say I'm a bit of a nerd.
In 2019, I got an amazing opportunity to move to Ireland, thanks to the Embassy of Ireland in Argentina. But, you know, life happened, and we all had to deal with that thing we'd rather forget — Covid-19. Anyway, after a bit of a delay, I finally made it to Ireland in January 2021, where I have finished my studies of Digital Marketing at CMIT. Because, hey, you can never have too many qualifications, right?
So, here I am, trying to sprinkle a bit of design and marketing love in my new home, Galway. If you're reading this, it means I'm on the right track.
