WHO AM I … 2

CARE TO KNOW ABOUT ME ?

§  I was told that any “professional” should have at least one presentation of himself on Slideshare

§  Since I really can’t help myself to follow my own advice, probably following others, could be a pretty nice idea

§  I’m not really good at boring people to death, so

I’m sorry, but I will do my best to keep you alive…

§  We can start talking about what I DO READY

SOUND INTERESTING ISN’T IT ? 3

I Craft Experiences Zoom In

THE WORLD IS CHANGING FAST 4

Keyboard Arrow Keys

Touch

Everything, physical or digital, is composed by constantly changing and evolving experiences

In the end, an Experience is just a fancy name to define Your Service Interface with Your Users

And my work is to design these kind of interfaces

I WON’T SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS, YOU ARE 5

I’m not Jackie Chan

…so in order to get things done ASK QUESTIONS before the FIGHT!

You can guess from my name that I enjoy to work at this difficulty level

Easy - Medium - Hard - Very Hard - Asian

NOTHING IS MAGICAL 6

I do not do Gangnam Style

But geniality can’t be concealed

THIS IS MY PLAYING FIELD 7

I am an UX PRACTIONER in this AREA

ARE YOU REALLY LOOKING FOR ME? 8

User Experience Strategy Visual Design Usability Information Architecture Interaction User Interface Service Design Concept Ideation Agile Frontend Prototyping Wireframe Project Management Coaching Assessment Research Interviews User Tests Co-Design

EVERYBODY ASKS ME SOMETHING USABLE, ACCESSIBLE, INTUITIVE, VALUABLE, EFFICIENT

SO I GAVE YOU A VERY BAD DESIGNED TAG CLOUD: CAN YOU SPOT AT LEAST 5 IMPROVEMENT POINTS?

Hint: They are 8, and counting…

CONTINUOS LEARNING 9

TODAY I LEARNT SOMETHING NEW

“ ” The only "intuitive" interface is the nipple. After that it's all learned.
