WHO AM I
2
CARE TO KNOW ABOUT ME ?
! I was told that any professional should have at
least one presentation of himself on Slideshare
! Since I really cant help myself to follow my own
advice, probably following others, could be a
pretty nice idea

! Im not really good at boring people to death, so
Im sorry, but I will do my best to keep you alive
! We can start talking about what I DO
READY
SOUND INTERESTING ISNT IT ?

I Craft Experiences
Zoom In
THE WORLD IS CHANGING FAST
4
Keyboard
Arrow Keys
Touch
Everything, physical or digital, is composed by
constantly changing and evolving experiences
In the end, an Experience is just a fancy name to define
Your Service Interface with Your Users
And my work is to design these kind of interfaces
I WONT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS, YOU ARE
5
Im not Jackie Chan
so in order to get things done
ASK QUESTIONS before the FIGHT!
You can guess from my name that
I enjoy to work at this difficulty level
Easy - Medium - Hard - Very Hard - Asian
NOTHING IS MAGICAL

I do not do Gangnam Style
But geniality cant be concealed
THIS IS MY PLAYING FIELD

I am an UX PRACTIONER in this AREA
ARE YOU REALLY LOOKING FOR ME?

User Experience Strategy Visual Design Usability
Information Architecture Interaction User Interface
Service Design Concept Ideation Agile Frontend
Prototyping Wireframe Project Management Coaching
Assessment Research Interviews User Tests Co-Design
EVERYBODY ASKS ME SOMETHING USABLE,
ACCESSIBLE, INTUITIVE, VALUABLE, EFFICIENT
SO I GAVE YOU A VERY BAD DESIGNED TAG CLOUD:
CAN YOU SPOT AT LEAST 5 IMPROVEMENT POINTS?
Hint: They are 8, and counting
CONTINUOS LEARNING

TODAY I LEARNT SOMETHING NEW

The only "intuitive" interface is the nipple.
After that it's all learned.
