‘A bad experience is where emotions and users cognition are kept separated. In the meantime, good experiences live and are possible where both live. For this reason, I think that good emotions live where user cognition is,
With that said…
Hi, I’m Salvatore Anastasia, UI / UX designer with a background in Computer Science, skilled at empathizing with people and creating user-centric design solutions. I was born in a family of musicians. I grow up with this kind of creative mindset that helped me to see the world in another way. I find an incredible affinity between design, typography and music. Like music, design can express something, maybe everything. I love skateboarding, art and nature.
During my studies, I’ve worked in pubs, pizzerias and as a disk jockey!
At last, I worked as a QA Tester for an IT company. What I learned is to be organized and work with priorities in mind. You have time to do all, but everything has a specific time to be done! I bring to the table a well-structured mindset, creativity and curiosity with the need of learning new stuff every day. I love designing for mobile, a strong passion for design systems and user flows.
I’m looking for: Respect, Innovation, a Great Team with whom share my creativity and create wonderful experiences, ideally on mobile!
