ABOUT ME

I am a Product Designer currently working at a fin-tech startup called Accrualify.

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

If a company has ever created a blueprint for how to live one's life on the internet, it has to be Facebook. Your products have revolutionized how humankind interacts online and turned our planet into one big family. And like any other family, there were roadblocks and challenges along the way. But what I admire most about Facebook is how you never lost sight of your mission to bring the world closer together.

Your products have truly tapped into human innovation, unconventional thinking, and pushed the envelope year after year. 

Since its inception, Facebook has experienced exponential growth, and as a loyal consumer, I've loved every second of it. You are a testament to 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." My past experience is mostly film-focused, and I've just recently pivoted to UX design. This is also 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 thousands of loyal Facebook users and the internet community at large. 

I love challenges.

And I 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 Facebook and making Facebook better by my addition.
