Interaction Design & Prototyping

Over the last ten years I have been designing websites, themes, landing pages and prototypes.

I build interactive prototypes using prototyping softwares like InVision, Balsamiq, Principle, Axure...

I also create fully working HTML prototypes using Bootstrap or Foundation.

UI Design

I design beautiful User Interfaces using Sketch3, Photoshop or Illustrator .

I use to analize all the insights an data emerged during the early phases of the UX design process in order to create accurate, engaging, effective and usable hi fidelity user interface designs.

Coding

Yet, I do love writing some lines of code: my abilities help me to create working HTML prototypes and build or fix many frontend functions.

Over these last years I learnt PHP/MySql too. I therefore can create a safe and performing Wordpress theme from scratch (PSD/Sketch or HTML to WP).
