about myself and my experience
I am Marcio, a Brazilian-born Designer based in Barcelona (Spain) and I currently work at Formula.Monks as a Lead Design Strategist.
Throughout my 18 years of experience, I worked across almost all Design-related fields before getting deeper into Design Strategy, Service Design and User Experience.
I lived and worked in many countries: Brazil, Latvia, The Netherlands, UK and now Spain. All these places made me realise that people and context are everything when designing new solutions, so that’s always the starting point of my design process and thinking.
However… as my background is in Graphic Design and Communications, I still prime for aesthetics and a visually appealing experience, no matter the channel and format. Therefore you will always see me moving pixels up and down, spending time selecting typography and colours, and aligning and distributing elements so they feel pleasant in the eyes :)
If you are interested in knowing more feel free to contact me anytime or hit me up via email at contact@sorianomarcio.com.
My hands…
These are some photos of me in teaching and facilitation mode.
And yes, apparently my hands become alive when I’m inspired…
