What is the role of the designer in our digital life? 10 The “design” is an important part of our analogic life.Design and Presentation: I use photoshop 90% of the time when designing and depending on what I’m working on, I’ll have an arsenal of tools ready to get the job done quicker/smarter.Sketching/Wireframing: With the tools available today (like a simple POP (prototyping on paper) where you can easily convert your sketches into a live navigable prototype) I don’t see why some skip this step, it has a large return of benefit based on invested time.Lots of industries have certain standards and w/o researching and understanding this new project, you could easily sail in the wrong direction. This is a vital step that most designers overlook. Next will be the research and brainstorming phase.I listen to the client, ask questions and take notes. My ‘usual’ process begins with listening.I think its safe to say that for certain things, there should be a locked-down process, but even then, everyone has their method and preference. Many designers commit the mistake of starting a project directly from Photoshop, is there a perfect design method? What is your approach to the creative process? I love getting a mess from clients and organizing it to make it usable to a specific user. What is, among the existing digital services, the one you wanted to do?

The control they get is astonishing from client management, instructors and how they get paid, adding classes, schedule exceptions, rewards point system, widget control, booking process, report charts, and SO much more. I think by far I’d have to say the Wellness Living backend admin & client portal. What is the most stimulating and challenging project you have accomplished? So much to appreciate in the beginning of the day, a fresh start. Taking a step outside to feel the cool misty air, consuming the peek of dawn and hearing the birds singing praise to our Creator. I’m an early bird… I love waking up early morning, brewing some coffee, making my peanut butter and raspberry jelly sandwich. I think simple things that we are so used to are usually the most intuitive because we do it w/o even thinking about it. On, time ago there was a long discussion in answer to the question “what is the most intuitive interface ever created?” according to Felipe Rocha it is the nipple, in your opinion instead? (arethemostintuitiveinterfacesever created) Three: Kickstarter I feel that this has opened many doors of opportunity for practically anyone with a good idea to get noticed and build a client base with little risk or investment. Two: Google Products (maps, docs, earth, search engine, android, youtube, gmail, and the list goes on). One: Apple products seem to have set the standards in many ways, bringing together functionality and innovation. The standards have become fast, quality-rich and intuitive.Ĭan you show us three examples of interface that in your opinion improved human life? Instantly get connected to your family and colleagues. Entertainment could captivate you for hours. I don’t think it simplified it, just added another dimension to exploring and innovate things that could never be done before. Web improved my life by adding quality to it. What the web can do to make this world a better place? How did the web improve your life?

Lots of self-taught lessons, books and internet tutorials contributed to my current skill level. Afterwards, I’ve worked for numerous companies as a graphic designer, where I slowly crafted my skill and mastered my tools. After graduating, I went to a local technical institute and completed all their muli-media design classes. I was introduced to Graphic Design in high school and thats where it really captured my passion. Actually, often times, I’d sit there with a little kitchen knife carving a face into the apple I was eating… face apples tasted better! Throughout my school years, art was always the class I look forward to most. What is your background, how did you train?Īs a kid, I’ve always been fascinated with drawing, painting, sculpting and anything artsy really. I also have projects that sometimes involve branding, icons, print work, illustrations, etc. I gather a bunch of data, concepts & goals from the client and organize the workflow and usability experience of each step to create an effective app or product. I basically tell them that I make websites pretty and usable. When your friends or parents ask to you what job do you do, how do you answer? I’m a Christian, follower of Jesus Christ and the Bible is my wireframe for life. Got rooted in here, with my lovely wife and 3 kiddos. I enjoy the warm climate here, beaches, sunsets and the overall tropical environment. I’m a freelancer, working from the sunshine state, Sarasota FL.
