DESIGN SWISS ARMY KNIFE
Hallo! I’m Marco.
I eat pixels for breakfast 🥣
I’m a multi-discipline digital designer with a passion for product design, illustration, and animation. You could say I’m a bit of a buzzword collector – I’ve dabbled in projects involving fundraising, e-commerce, user experience, AI, NFTs, and blockchain.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with several award-winning startups in the MENA region, including Wally, Laundrybox, Medicus and Nahel.com. I also led and scaled design teams across three departments – product, brand & reputation, and consumer – at Kitopi – the fastest unicorn 🦄 in the MENA region.
I’ve also collaborated with Dubai government agencies, including PCFC, Dubai Maritime City, Dubai Customs, and Customs World. In these roles, I helped design, build, and launch customer-facing solutions, intranet portals, and the flagship blockchain product, RIISE.
I am 20+ years of design experience condensed into one nerd.
Always Be Learning.
I keep myself up-to-date with the latest tools within the design and front-end development world.
