🙏🏿 ⚠️ freelance work only ⚠️ 🙏🏿 As an interaction developer with visual skills, I explore ways to melt code and design, while raising the quality and creative freedom of both. I use my passion and enthusiasm as a tool to promote ideas and skills.
For years I played around in Amiga Painter, Photoshop, and learned how to program on my own and during my IT-education. I was lucky to work in a small company in Fribourg that believed in my skills as a visual designer where I learned that coding and visual-design are things that work well together. Thrilled to discover that I would work on a job that would contain some of my greatest passions: Videogames, Visual Design and Programming, I started to explore the magical world of interaction development.

My role in this project was to build the View part of the application. Every module in the project works on its own and is not dependent on its context. The application is fully responsive and all features are accessible on all resolutions. We came up with a RequreJS, JADE & SCSS build process that made it painless and intuitive to build an application of that scale.
