I'm a half Austrian/half Peruvian, ambitious digital designer & frontend developer, building complex layouts and creating pleasing designs. Based in Vienna & Linz I am currently supporting people, brands, agencies and startups with my freelance services.

Half-time employed @ Walls.io a social media tool, I lead a frontend team in the field of design & visual communication.

Out of my strong love for 🍺 beer, I kicked off a side project with some coders, marketers & writers called Brewgraphy (work in progress).

Connected to the art scene in Linz, I am also diving into the digital aspects of modern art.

I am always looking for new opportunities in partnering up with agencies, enthusiastic startups and like-minded people. Let’s work on something great!

Below you can take a glimpse into my fields of work. If you want to know more, just contact me.

Where I have specialized:

• Bridging gaps between design and development is what defines me. I always try to keep both aspects in mind in order to build realistic & overseeable software with pleasing designs & clear interfaces.
• I am a highly adaptable person when it comes to workflows, which can also be challenging when it comes to finding routines.
• Some say I can be stubborn, which might be fitting. Giving up is something what normally comes very late 😅. This isn’t always the best feature since other things move to the background while focusing on one really hard.
• I can look at digital projects from multiple angles, especially from design, technical & marketing perspective without compromising too much on one side.

Design

When it comes to design I like to work with vector-based software like Illustrator.

• Illustrator One of my biggest loves
• Photoshop Absolutely mandatory in the digital space
• After Effects Perfect for breathing life into static designs & very helpful for showing different processes
• Dotted paper and pen A must, as this is the stuff I grab, right after the spark was lit
• Inspiration Nature is my biggest helper, but I also consume enough design porn on Dribble, Behance, Instagram etc.
• At this point special thanks go to my Spanish friend and mentor, David Tocino

Development

With development, keeping it light & mobile are the main requirements, I like being able to work from nearly everywhere, especially trains 🚆.

• Codepen is the "pen and paper" for coding
• Vcode or Sublime my main tools for writing frontend code
• LESS & SCSS for styling layouts fast and clean
• Vue.js just starting to get into this
• Jquery I know my way around it even though people are abandoning it
• normally I like to work in a virtual machine using Vagrant and Virtual Box
• Worpdress together with roots sage is great for fast theme development
• PHP even though this part of my name, mostly inside of wordpress or laravel, but rather limited

By the way, this project was build with laravel, some vue.js & precious black tea ☕. It also cuts the need for printing anything, so no more paper, rain forest hooray 🥦.

Digital Marketing

For me Digital Marketing is a variety of actions/strategic decisions for a specific goal (Better brand awareness for example) . The following examples picture what i do and where i am getting into right now.

• Building & optimizing micro pages/landing pages is probably the spearhead in my digital marketing activities
• Technical SEO Optimization, experience has taught me it's very often the basics done wrong, preventing sites or products from being found
• Chrome Dev Tools best for technical analyzing sites & apps (performance, responsiveness, etc.)
• Google Analyics I know my way around the most important numbers (bounce rate, page views, session duration, etc.)
• A/B Testing, if the number of users is sufficient
• Hotjar or Crazy Egg for analyzing user behaviour and use processes
• Talking actually helps a lot, yes with the customers 😉
• Ryte & SEM rush Currently getting into this

My work experience

What's not mentioned in the timeline are dozens of conferences I visited like The Smashing Conference, Beyond Tellerrand, WeAreDevelopers, etc. Mostly very inspiring stuff and great for exchanging with likeminded individuals.

Down below you will find companies & partners I have worked with in the last couple of years. Note that I had different roles for different projects.

The projects EY-Law, Generali, Initiative Gas, WU-Wien, Handelsverband, Wikifolio, and WKO-Wien were carried out while I was working together with Fonda.

Some people write about their hobbies in CVs, I will show you some stuff where i challenged myself lately and some other passions:

• The highest peak I ever climbed was the "Coropuna", the highest volcano 🌋 in Peru with 6425 meters of altitude.
• I biked 320 km on a single day (14h) from Passau to Vienna with my dad. We did it for the great organization Herzbewegt, check them out, I wouldn’t want to miss this
• Last summer I spent a total of 6 days around the mountain Ausangate on an average height of 4300 meters
• I ran a total of 1000 km over the year 2017. This had an immense impact on a lot of things in my life
• Modern art, always mind-bending and great for inspiring my actual work
• I am a big fan of craft beers, the tastes, the labels from numerous designers and the stories about the people & the breweries behind them 💛

Congratulations, you made it to the bottom of my CV and at the same time to the peak of mountain Jampa (Peru 🇵🇪).
The total height of this rock is 5500 meters.
