Hi, my name is Samuel and I'm a bridge between Design and Development... But also between Business and Design. I love coding only because it makes me understand what material digital design is made of. I'm a UX/UI Designer with +5 years working for Marketing agencies, and through them for HUGE brands like Facebook, Ralph Lauren, or Doordash. Recently, I've jumped into the SaaS startups field because I wanted to dive deeper into the development environments. But I carry with me the marketing strategy principles, something that informs my design and makes me find Business goals in each pixel. Currently working at LVGL as a web designer and developer. Thanks to my new job, I'm learning about embedded GUIs and IoT (Internet of Things), a fascinating field. I've even started creating embedded UIs with XML code and Figma.
