Curs de UI/UX Design Weekend

Mentor UI/UX Design

Hi! My name is Leo and I currently work as a full-time User Experience Designer in Iasi, Romania. I also have freelance collaborations with local brands from Iasi, working both as a Graphic Designer & Illustrator. My career path evolved systematically from Customer Experience at an online platform, to working as a Marketing Assistant and then starting my design journey, first working as an in-house Graphic Designer at one of the biggest Hotel Complex in Iasi, and then, after an internship as a Visual Designer at Amazon, doing Agency and Corporate Graphic Design. After I’ve consolidated my design knowledge and skills, I’ve made my first steps into the amazing world of User Experience Design, being part of an Agile team and working to enhance products and make them enjoyable and usable for our users. I love to research, understand and solve problems through the power of design and creating better experiences. Every day I try to find new challenges, communicate, get feedback, and level up my skill as a designer. In my free time, I'm passionate about reading comics (this is where the passion for drawing started) and books about communication and design, playing video games (ex-WoW player), building computers (my recent project is an "old school" Windows XP machine), playing guitar, going to airsoft games and spending fun time with my daughter and wife. Always be Creative.

Mentor UI/UX Design

With 15 years of experience in the design field, I currently hold the role of Senior UX Designer and I am actively involved in the Accessibility Champions program, as part of an Agile team. My journey commenced with 11 years of art studies, primarily centered around animation. Over time, my career transitioned toward UX design (I know, this is quite uncommon...) due to my deep-seated passion for comprehending user needs and crafting genuinely user-friendly solutions. Lately, I've been refining Service Design as my personal specialty. This approach allows me to creatively tackle challenges, ensuring that the solutions we create not only exhibit aesthetic appeal but also function seamlessly. Moreover, a core component of my design philosophy is accessibility. I strongly believe that it goes beyond being just a checkbox on a design checklist; it stands as a foundational principle that profoundly influences the quality and inclusivity of products. It's about adhering to the right principles. In a nutshell, this is me, and I'm happy to be here, to share my knowledge, and my journey, both successes and failures, to help and inspire others.
