ABOUT ME

I have worked in the media and tech industry for the last ten years. In my previous role as Technical Director at Disney's Lucasfilm, I developed and implemented multiple new artist-facing tools. These tools were used in the VFX production of many award-winning films (Rango, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Ready Player One) and resulted in a 55% increase in artist efficiency across our company.

From VFX to UX

In 2020 I decided to turn my career focus on a new path for professional growth and joined the UX Academy to become a UX & Product Designer. I became proficient in the whole design process, from research to ideation and prototyping, to creating meaningful digital experiences using user-centric methodologies. Some of my featured work includes responsive web design for Vytal Events, redesign of Plugshare Trips and a brand new app and platform for finding diamonds and gemstones called Origem.

I'm especially interested in inclusive design and how its influence expands any product's reach to marginalized communities and related user groups.

Other things I love

In my free time, I love watching movies (no spoilers there). I also enjoy taking amazing photos and traveling around the world. Some of my favorite activities include skydiving, parasailing, zorbing, white-water rafting, and snorkeling in the Indian ocean.

ABOUT YOU

Apple is synonymous with thinking outside the box. Whether it's rethinking mobile with iPhone and iCloud, revolutionizing personal computing with MacBook, or reinventing the music industry through iTunes, you have done it with innovation, unconventional thinking, and pushing the envelope year after year. 

Since its inception, Apple has experienced exponential growth, and as a loyal consumer, I've loved every second of it. Not only that, but I have also seen firsthand (through daily use of my Apple products) how well-designed products can empower individuals, businesses, and entire communities in creating a positive change.

That's why I have always wanted to work for you. And let me be honest...

We are a great fit

You need a fantastic designer with equally impressive work ethics (just ask my previous employer). You also need somebody that will take ownership of the project, thrives on feedback, and keeps an eye on your team's big picture.

There are a few reasons I may not be the "perfect candidate” as I've just recently pivoted to UX design. However, my past experience in post production and VFX would be an asset for the video team and for this role. This is an impactful job in an incredible company. Who wouldn't covet such an amazing opportunity? I certainly do, but I also take this challenge seriously. Whether it's enhancing existing products or shaping the future through new innovative tools, it will impact millions of loyal Apple consumers and the tech industry at large. 

You clearly require someone who understands the entire design process, from research to ideation and rapid prototyping to testing these ideas with real users.

I can do all that. And more.

I love challenges and love the idea of working with people that are brilliant, whom I admire and respect. I know what it means to work together to make something great. And I look forward to learning from Apple and making Apple better by my addition.
