Can you share a fun fact about you?
Sometimes I pick my smartphone and my bluetooth speaker, I open some karaoke video on YouTube and I start to sing along, all by myself, just for fun. :D
How did you get into design?
I wanted to work with something related to art and visual communication. I didn't know much about design, so that was my criteria to choose the course. During the first weeks, I started to discover how big it was. Understanding that design is about solution development for people's problems was a happy surprise.
Favorite tool?
Trello (or anything that helps me to organize my kanban mural).
Best lifehack?
Psychotherapy. Mental health is a blessing!
Where do you find #inspiration?
I usually get inspired by things I consume. It can come from a video game menu, a movie art direction, a rock band album cover or some social media publication, for instance. Besides that, when I'm actively looking for specific references, I go to platforms like Pinterest, Behance, Designspiration and so on.
One thing you are getting better at?
My English proficiency.
One misconception about design you try to clear up?
Design isn't just graphic design. And graphic design isn't just beautiful screens.
If you weren't designing, what would you be doing?
I would be probably a musician.
What does your desktop/home screen look like?
I try to keep it minimally organized, but you will always find some random files lying around.

Toronto.
Favorite hotkey?
Comnd-Z.

Blue Pills - a positive love story (A graphic novel by Frederik Peeters).
Advice for ambitious designers?

Most effective productivity booster?
When I'm working, the pomodoro method. When doing things at home, keeping the smartphone away is a good choice.

Video games (or my dog barking).
