Casmir designs everything digital.

Creativity is more than just a skill to me. It is a way of thinking that I apply to all aspects of my life. And as I continue to adventure and learn, my creativity becomes even stronger - both as a designer and in life.

When I am not doing design, you can find me trying out new restaurants with my wife, enjoying local standup comedy, or rollerblading around Lower Manhattan.
