How I work05 / 07

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.
