“When everything is emphasized, nothing is emphasized.” — Edward Tufte
A web designer and developer focused in responsive design, semantic markup and interoperable, mobile-enhanced experiences. An avid reader and learner with an obsession with proportions, content hierarchy, high-contrast typography and green tea with ginseng.
Responsive design, mobile first, progressive enhancement, web standards, semantics, accessibility, in-browser prototyping, usability, interoperability, performance, information design, web development (HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, MVC, WordPress, Code Igniter, Git).
Front-End Developer at archify, a young startup based in Vienna, Austria, that seamlessly captures everything you see on the web and saves it into the cloud. On my spare time I'm usually riding my longboard, reading on a terrace or enjoying a fresh Karmeliet on ice cold glass.
If you’re tired of testing your responsive designs on your browser(s), you should consider getting an official mobile browser emulator or simulator for your desktop. There’s nothing like testing your smaller resolutions on real mobile rendering engines, instead of spending a considerable amount of time resizing the desktop browser window (an activity I turned out to convert to, lately).
As a big fan of handmade wooden stuff, I recently purchased two bamboo stands from New York based designer Ricardo Martinez on Etsy, one for my phone and iPod, and other for my new iPad. It’s incredible how solid and beautiful these two little things are, and they actually fit all cases from all three devices in any orientation (quite helpful when you’re hooked on Draw Something, huh?). Hats off, Ricardo.
Ever since I can remember I wanted to live in a lighthouse. After living in Galicia for a year I had the chance to go on a car trip with my best friend around Rota da Luz, the atlantic lighthouse route of northern iberian peninsula. There is something mystical about living on the top of a tower—I can only image how it would feel to wake up with that salty breeze on my face, seagulls in clear sky, no sounds but the waves.
There is a place in Austria called Fucking. It has around 104 inhabitants and is only 4km east of the german border. Tourists have been caught having sex in front of road signs (gorgeous typeface!) during summer, probably right after having a sip of their local beer. Funny enough, Fucking bus service operates once a day, making stops in Unterfucking (Lower Fucking) and Oberfucking (Upper Fucking).
