About me

My name is Michele Pollastro and I'm a professional with more than 10 years experience in brand identity and user-centred design. I have a strong interest in Art, Design and Theatre. I enjoy “Pixel-Perfect Designs” and I'm a reliable, enthusiastic person looking for new possibilities. I'm working in team with agile methodology, organising tasks and projects in lists and steps. I'm using the most powerful software, including Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, XD and After Effects). In the last two years I improved my skills and I moved my self to a UX career, working as UX Researcher and Designer.
