Two hands04 / 06

Structure and intuition, in balance.

Code is my structure: logic, systems, rigour. Piano is my intuition: feel, taste, space. They pull in opposite directions, and good products need both.

Structure

End-to-end ownership
UI, UX and development by the same person, through release and maintenance. No hand-offs, nothing lost in between.
Clean, efficient code
Native code that is clean, elegant and efficient, built with Apple’s own frameworks so your app is fast and easy to evolve.

Intuition

Product thinking
I’ve designed, built and published my own apps, so I think about the whole product (users, purchases, updates), not just the feature list.
Interfaces that feel right
Interfaces and experiences designed around your users, with attention to the details people notice without knowing why.
Based in Bergamo, Italy. I work in English or Italian.
