I am a young internet dinosaur.

The year was 1999. I was in my room with my best friend and I was trying to make a website for my hardcore band with the most advanced tool I knew at the time: Microsoft Frontpage. I then decided the following year to become a web master with Macromedia certification, now Adobe. The following year, I started a no way back journey that made use of JavaScript, HTML and tools like Dreamweaver and Flash.

Even when “migrating” to advertising, I never left aside the construction of websites, because as a freelancer, I never lacked the opportunity to learn new technologies. Today, I build websites in WordPress from scratch and make use of CSS. This whole background allowed me to better understand the user experience and to predict some trends on the internet. Unfortunately, not all of my work is here on this page, but these are still on the air.

Thinking about user experience is something that built my whole life as a designer, long before the term UX started to be used. For that reason, it was a little tricky to understand why I don’t consider myself a pioneer UX / UI designer. It was then, through bibliography and courses, that I began to better understand the fundaments of the interface development and new work methodologies. Today, I am fascinated by collaborative and complex works.
