My name is Carlos Fernandes and I have been working in the creative area since 2009. Throughout my professional career I have had the opportunity to work very closely with different areas; I started my career in flash and animation, then I had a brief stint in frontend, and as a freelancer I managed to create my first projects as a Graphic Designer, in the last years I turned to UX Design which allowed me to explore various procedural aspects and include all my learnings in conception of my projects. My entire journey has transformed me into a versatile professional, which has helped me a lot to coordinate my work with clients, stakeholders, designers from other areas (motion, graphics, writing, etc.) and programmers. Although I like the procedural part of design thinking, my favourite step is the visual part of UX/UI- Evolve a brand and give it enough flexibility to work with different needs, ensuring consistency and, finally, bringing it all together Design System. During this process I like to explore some market trends and include them in the evolution of brands. At the culmination of the visual designing process, I love prototyping my ideas and giving my pieces some interaction so that everyone can experience the look & feel long before the products are launched. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work together. In the meantime I would like to invite you to take a look at the website of my design studio Phaze Design, where you can find the work that I consider most relevant.
