I'm Stefano, a problem solver and doer, currently in Hong Kong.

Most recently, I led a small team of designers at 🛡️ Dedoco , a blockchainified document management company.
‍
Before that, I was the first designer in the Cronos team at 🚀 Crypto.com , where I helped create dApps that would serve as the infrastructure of the Cronos Chain. Some cool projects I worked on included VVS, Tectonic, and Orbit.

I came to Hong Kong to work at 💳 YouTrip , a virtual bank operating in SEA. My role started off small - to support the ongoing development of miscellaneous features. Over time, I was entrusted with hosting workshops, creating the new Design System, and even 2.0 - YouTrip's biggest project ever. Oh yeah, my team also discovered the use case of the now massively successful YouBiz!

My career started at  🚗 AutoTrader.ca in Canada. Over 2 years, I learned when to make compromises, how to conduct user interviews, and what true end-to-end design is.

Actually I lied, I guess you can say my career 'started' even before that. I accidentally stumbled into the world of UX/UI because 15 year old me really needed some money to buy skins in  🕹️ League of Legends , so I got the idea to sell Wordpress websites to local businesses. This hustle earned enough for what a high schooler would want, but by then, I already fell in love with learning about the philosophies of design.

I spend some of my free time trying to bootstrap my own social media idea. Otherwise, I'm probably hanging out with friends, or drinking. Or both at the same time.

Thanks for making it to the bottom!

Stefano 😊
