Over the past two years, while shaping my Startmate-backed startup SplootCode, I have been running a small agency, myself and one trusted developer.

While creating and nurturing clients relationships, I craft working environments that promote a balance between business goals and users needs. Putting my UI/UX superpowers to work, I had the pleasure to co-create intuitive web and mobile apps with many talented teams.

A legal no-code tool for lawyers I shaped in all its aspects.

At Deputy I had the luck of working with some of the most humble and skilled Product and Design leaders I am aware of.

Together with the team, we scaled the Design team from 4 to 16 within less than two years. In this period, I lead numerous UI/UX projects, including shaping the shell of Deputy’s first Design System, lead international UX research, and mentor the new wonderful designers onboard.

Back in 2011 when 3D-printers were still too expensive an option even for businesses, I came together with a bunch of dreamers to reshape this part of the future. Thanks to the open-source community, we were able to build a small, mighty, and affordable 3D-printer to fund our dream: 3D printing homes with local soil.
