About

What I Do

I’m a designer & entrepreneur working on digital products. I design with a dev/product/business mindset. It feels obvious as a designer to understand these disciplines to interact with users and the team to create premium quality products. I lead the design work of several extraordinary startups.

Describe what you have done, what you are doing, and the kinds of things you are interested in.

Achievements

I currently work as a freelancer. For the last 8 years, I had the privilege to work for renowned startups in really challenging projects. As Principal Designer at Blackpills, I designed the multi-device user experience to distribute Blackpills’ own-produced series. From driving the product to designing micro-interactions, the challenge was to keep consistency between all our platforms and content while designing a completely new experience in that industry. The Blackpills community of millions of users rated the service up to 4.7 on the app stores.

As a Designer for Kayrros, I had the objective to rethink the Energy Industry and its billions of data points to make it accessible and understandable to everyone. Prior to that, I was a Partner at Flat.io, a platform targeting musicians and compositors and Lead Designer at Soundrop & Show.co, reinventing music marketing and social interactions.

Describe the most impressive thing you've done.
