About Me
Hello again! My name is Felix and I am a User Experience (UX) designer!
As a designer, I try to integrate my knowledge and experience while being honest with myself, maintaining integrity with my colleagues, and remaining empathetic with my users.
My goal is to develop innovative products that, in addition to making people's lives more efficient, will enrich the social, cultural, and aesthetic fabric of our everyday life.
One of my hobbies is drawing and you can view my works here.
I am always enthusiastic to connect with other professionals and hear about possible opportunities. You are welcome to take a look at my projects or send me an email.
