About me
Biography
Hello! My name is Andrea and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. My interest in web development started back in 2012 when I started a web design course just out of curiosity, after which I found html and css fascinating.
Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of working in a web agency, a huge corporation, and a user experience research agency. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences at Jungles for Sky Italy.
What excites me most about being part of the Digital sector in the tech industry is being able to design and create things that have purpose and solve real problems. Leaning into customer research and insight, finding the right problems to solve, delivering that value as quickly as possible, learning from it and then iterating and improving that value over time is the key to great design.
Passion
What I love
Frontend
Front-end is like a playground for adults which I love to dive in. Basically, we're building an interactive puzzle. First, we create functional pieces like core components. Then we put them together to get the whole picture. After that, the user has a final functional and visual product.
Design System
A good Design System enables you to speed up your Design & Development process in a few different ways, such as faster UI design, go straight from wireframe to development, go straight from idea to UI and eliminate need for clarification.
Reading books
I read for entertainment, information, education, philosophical stimulation. It depends on the book. I rotate a historical to fiction to political/economic to theological to classic in order to not become stale or rigid. I like the ways throught books change the point of perspective about anything.
