ABOUT ME

I like to make things for the internet.

I love to create content as a form of self expression and to provide value. My colleague, Vitor Tomazzi, and I decided to start a Youtube when we realized that there was a lack of diversity of content in the UX space. Most of it being graphic design skills or how to use Figma shortcuts, we wanted to provide a place for ux designers to learn about the psychology behind their craft and have fun while doing so. We use this platform to document our learnings and pass this education on as we grow in our careers. It’s been a lot of fun so far!

I like to connect with my community.

The rise in popularity in bootcamps have created a large supply of junior designers that have nowhere to go once they graduate from a bootcamp.

Very little existed in the space between graduating and starting a job. As a bootcamp alum myself I experienced this first hand. I noticed a lack of support post-boot camp during the transition into employment. Junior designers are overwhelmed with knowledge over a three month period and then are expected to know how to apply it to a real world job.

Anyone who’s working currently and also comes from a bootcamp knows that bootcamp design is nothing like enterprise level product design. My colleague, Nicole Matos, and I wanted to create the space for that in-between. Our meetups consist of workshops to help build skills, advice sessions, portfolio reviews from designers all over the world, and fun events like UI trivia nights & happy hour progress checks.
