Who's Felix?

Hey there! I'm a product & visual designer with a twist. Fresh out of UC Santa Barbara with a B.S. in mechanical engineering and a side of French, I'm currently on a gap year adventure, traveling and exploring design through personal projects and courses.

Think of me as the Swiss Army knife of designers – I've got the systematic problem-solving skills of an engineer, the creativity of an artist, and the playfulness of a French mime (minus the face paint). I love the challenge of distilling complex problems into intuitive solutions. I'm all about crafting experiences that make users go "Wow!" and "How did they think of that?!"

My superpower? Balancing the tightrope between usability, accessibility, and technical feasibility. The result? Innovative, practical solutions that are as delightful as finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag.

When I'm not busy making the digital world a more joyful place, you might find me trying to engineer the perfect pasta dish or looking at beautiful kitchen-ware. Let's create something awesome together!

From my experience managing them during our UCSB Bridge app redesign project, I highly recommend Felix as a designer. They consistently demonstrate reliability and a quick learning ability, ensuring that their designs are both comprehensive and of the highest standard. Their dedication to quality and attention to detail make them a valuable asset to any team.

Felix is an outstanding app designer. The app Felix created was by far the best app I've ever seen come from a capstone project. The design was beautiful and followed sound usability practice. Graphics were on point. I appreciated the iterative process through which the app was built, certainly the best app that has ever come out of ME/ECE capstone from usability and functionality perspective.

My Design Philosophies

Some values I care about, and how I thrive

1

Empathy

My empathetic nature leads me to prioritize user needs and emotions in my design process, creating solutions that deeply connect with people.

2

Authenticity

I value designs that feel genuine, true to their purpose, and contribute positively to users’ lives. I also value authenticity and meaningful relationships with people I work with.

3

Growth-Oriented

I thrive on continuous growth, approaching design challenges with curiosity, openness, and eagerness to explore. I transform setbacks into valuable learning opportunities and actively seek feedback to refine my craft. This growth mindset keeps me resilient and committed to evolving my skills, allowing me to turn every experience into a stepping stone for improvement.

4

Imaginative

I have the ability to see things from unconventional perspectives and generate innovative solutions to design challenges. My rich imagination and out of the box thinking allows me to envision possibilities that others might miss, allowing me to tackle ideation and conceptual thinking from a fresh perspective.

5

Holistic Approach

My mechanical engineering background equips me with systematic thinking skills to break down complex problems into manageable components, while my intuitive nature allows me to seamlessly shift between seeing the entire ecosystem of a product and zooming in to refine critical details.

6

Adaptability

I thrive in dynamic environments, quickly adjusting to new challenges and team needs. My ability to pivot between different thinking modes and processes helps me excel in fast-paced design projects and navigate complex challenges with an open mind.
