Mao who?

Leading a Design Team
I have the amazing job to create, keep and evolve our product with incredible and talented people.

Curating Portfolios
It's not about saying it's good or bad, but showing the way so it can be more effective.

Writing Articles
My latest skill, and I have to say, I'm loving it. Writing is how you document your ideas.

Helping to recruit
As we value people instead of jobs, it's very satisfying to see people reaching their goals.

Working remotely
I'm loving to be more close to my wife and kids, and having my own studio at home.
