My name is Juan Carlos Ospina Gonzalez (aka Piterwilson) and I’m an interactive media creator.
I’m a graphic designer by trade and I gravitated towards new media design, field in which I have been working and experimenting.
I posses a well rounded set of skills that help me understand and develop new media projects; from planning and conceptualizing phases, to graphic design and actual programming and development.
