Plan, Design & Code
I'm Tiago, UI/UX & Graphic Designer and Frontend Developer based in Vancouver BC. My work at SSW is focused on developing functional eye-catching graphic and digital projects.
Fluent in HEX, RGB, and CMYK
Graduated in Communications and Marketing, I started my career in the Advertising business, working as a Graphic Designer. Along with the industry, I gradually migrated to the Digital environment, which led me to Frontend Development.
For years, I've been working remotely for SSW - a mid-size software development company - as a UX/UI Specialist, Graphic Designer, and Front-End Developer. There, I've worked on small to large projects while practicing Scrum and learning Project Management abilities. The remote work experience was essential to develop my time-management, organizational, and communication skills to an outstanding level.
I also had the opportunity to perform significant SEO and Social Media tasks. Being an 'outsider' designer in a major dev environment made me more interested in back-end development. I recently graduated from the Applied Web Development program at British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), aiming to improve my programming knowledge.
Apart from work I am an amateur runner, a Volkswagen Beetle enthusiast, a Formula One and soccer fan, love to travel, and hate olives :)
Many of my personal and freelance projects involved Photography, Video Editing, and Copywriting.
