Rather hard to write an "interesting" biography... when you are not an uncultured 23yrs old billionaire footballer, or his botox-bloated wife, or just another self-centric ultrapreneur-CEO-co-co-founder-co-investor of something.

Let's say...When I'm not messing around, I work as Interaction-User Experience-Product (etc..) Designer or whatever you want to call it, on the consumer electronics sector. I make things and stuff for other people to use them, with the humble intent to make their lives a bit less fiddly...what means basically spending most of my working time battling against over-complicated processes, extreme complexity, meanness, organisational dissonance and "We-have-always-done-it-that-way!" attitudes. In spite of all those minor mishaps, yet, on a good day, occasionally, I manage to contribute to make products, apps and experiences a bit more awesome. On a bad day, I just try to make it suck less, at most.

Before that, I've had other more exotic occupations as: art restorer, teacher, social educator, cartoonist, photographer, design consultant, illustrator, guitar player, front-end developer-designer, furniture repairer, casual flâneur, wanderer, painter, graphic artist, ... in no particular order.

Interested on transforming information overload into wisdom, and on the complexity of the simplicity.
