More About Me

The longer version, told the way I'd tell it over coffee: what I do now, what came before, and where I'm heading.

What I do these days

I'm a Senior UI/UX Designer and Assistant Creative Director at Praxxys Solutions, where I've been since 2022. Most days I'm somewhere between a client call, a Figma file and a developer's desk, making sure what we promised is what gets built.

I lead projects from the first requirements meeting to handover and QA, keep our design system in shape, and help the juniors on the team find their footing.

I also get to talk about it

Draft: I was a guest speaker at LVCC ICT Week, back at the school where I studied. A few words here about the topic, the students, and what it felt like to stand on the other side of the room.

Before design, there was making

Draft: Long before I opened Figma, I was already making things. Posters, layouts, little videos, anything that let me put something on a screen or on paper.

It started with CorelDRAW

Draft: my first real design tool. Tarpaulins, invitations, logos for whoever asked.

then I learned to cut in Premiere Pro

Draft: where I learned timing, cuts and how a story moves.

Working with my dad

Draft: a few lines about the work I did alongside my dad, and what it taught me about doing a job properly.

Journalism

Draft: writing and editing as a student journalist, and why it still shapes how I write UI copy today.

Off the clock, I move

Draft: running, biking, swimming and the gym. Every line here is a route I ran or rode.

Okay, the kid with the family computer

Draft: before any of that, there was a kid, a family computer, and far too much free time.

Encarta, open for hours

Draft: clicking from one article to the next, way past bedtime.

MS Paint for everything else

Draft: where most of my first drawings lived.

A GameBoy in the bag

Draft: always charged, or at least always with spare batteries.

The school project I still remember

Draft: a papier-mâché Mayon Volcano, vinegar and baking soda, and a very proud kid. This is the real one.

You scrolled too far… anyway,

Draft: this is me as a kid. Who I was, what I loved, and who I looked up to.

Draft: what I was dreaming of, back when the dreams were big and the computer was slow.

Draft: the hard parts, and the reason I never gave up.

Where I'm heading

01
Draft: why this one, and what the first one would look like.
02
Draft: the kind of stories I want to tell.
03
Draft: where the music side comes from.
