Résumé

ROBERTO DELPIANO

Photographer, Artist, Graphic Designer


Summary of qualifications

I am a photographer, web designer and advertising designer, working for my own clients (small-medium size companies), mostly in the technical field, by choice, inclination and chance. I am eclectic and versatile, rarely bored, with high adrenaline when necessary.

I would define myself as a good learner and analyzer, someone who can organize and deliver a sustainable, well balanced workflow, with the extra "eureka!” needed for problem solving and debugging.

While running my own business, I am also available for freelancing, bringing the same expertise I have matured working with my own clients, and the experience I have in meeting tight deadlines, fighting challenges, and reaching targets.
