Description

Short Lead

The world of fantasy has always attracted me. Looking back on my past, I guess the fascination was curated during childhood. At that time, my family was always moving somewhere new. We started in Greece, then paced around Bosnia for some years until I finished high school. I even tried out Serbia during my undergrad. And there was one thing I could count on through it all: my video games and the connection they gave me to an endless number of fantasy worlds.

Fantasy Fueling Reality

Although born and raised in France, I feel much more like a citizen of the world. I received my education in France and England. I have worked for French, German, Norwegian, British, and American companies, I have a half-English wife, with a father-in-law living in Norway, and my own family originating in Italy! Multiculturalism has been a part of my life since day one, whether it be the co-existence of diverse racial, religious and cultural groups or how it manifests into behaviors, assumptions, values, patterns of thinking, and communication styles. I cannot imagine where, or who, I would be today without such an international perspective. 

The Vibrancy of Multiculturalism

I don’t think enough people dare to be different. So when I was growing up in Serbia, instead of wanting to fit in, I did all I could to dance to the beat of my own drum. While the other kids were out playing soccer or partying, I was off trying motocross, rollerblading, and even breakdancing. It was never to be the best or to show off; I guess I just wanted to experience life in a different, more unique way. Without a doubt, this mindset has followed me into adulthood.

Dream it - Do it  

My grandma Emma saved my life. She was my rock, keeping me strong in times of struggle. It's why we called her 

). Gommo was the one who pushed me to never stop believing in the light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how bad things felt. She helped teach me that as long as we do our best to cultivate friendship, offer encouragement to others, and build networks of support, nothing can stop us from becoming the person we are truly meant to be.

The Virtue of Resilience

Ever since I was a kid, I have been interested in the world of sound. I remember the good old days of cassette tape recorders, where my friends and I would create different kinds of radio shows and comedies. Little did I know that such an innocent hobby would turn into a life-long love affair, allowing me to work within radio, music, and television productions across the globe.

Music: a Magic Beyond All

As an introvert, it’s the time that I get to spend alone that best recharges and refuels me. So perhaps one of the greatest gifts the developer community gave me was getting me to open up and come out of my shell. They made me feel safe, heard, and respected, so much so that I never once felt afraid to speak my mind or share my ideas. Ultimately, this led me to meet some pretty amazing human beings, many of which, in their own special way, helped get me to where I am today. It’s why I feel so strongly about the importance of connection. Conversations spark interest and inspiration and make our lives all the more exciting. 

Threads of Connection

I have a special kind of love and respect for my home country of Nigeria. The people are incredibly hardworking, intelligent, and unstoppable, creating a strength that I have felt from a young age. It came in many directions: from my parents, friends, neighbors, and pastor, making a colorful sense of community. Here we are celebrated for both who we are together and who we are as individuals. I think this has given me the perspective of there being inherent value to every human life.

Building a Better Tomorrow

Even though I consider myself an introvert, I enjoy nothing more than interacting with people. I think we have forgotten the immense power we as individuals have when it comes to impacting others. Offering unconditional kindness often feels like a dusty book left for too long on some forgotten corner shelf. Well, I am dusting off the cover to say that there will always be a place for kindness, even if it comes one smile at a time.

Finding Simplicity in Mind, Body, and Spirit  

A Garden of Kindness 

People have changed my life. More specifically, the opportunities given to me by people have changed my life. Some inspired me, some challenged me, and some helped me grow. I think this grounded me in the importance of joining projects with a strong sense of community. It was a huge reason I ended up with Okay and New Normal Group. I didn't want to be just another employee. I wanted to be a valued piece of the puzzle.

Rooted in Togetherness

I always knew I wanted a meaningful life, full of incredible people, experiences and career opportunities. My mom, who I call my

, always told me that I could be whoever I wanted to be. She was the one who helped me get into one of Mexico's top universities. She knew it would open up a hundred doors, each offering a chance to chase my dreams. As a single mother, it was my 

 who gave me the grit, the determination, and the love I needed to make it anywhere. To grab the bull by the horns and hold on tight!

The Power of Positivity

The internet is my foundation. Every time I open my computer, or talk to someone about the latest online developments, the room feels electric. How could something that is always evolving ever get boring? It keeps me on my toes and is always pushing me to grow. My job is to design, create and dream for the world of tomorrow. I could not imagine myself being anywhere else.

Consumed by Cyberspace

All my life, artistic women have surrounded me. Specifically, I’m talking about my mother and grandmother, who were always expressing their life experiences through the stroke of a brush. This imprinted into my subconscious because creating art is also a core part of who I am today. It’s what defined my adolescence. It’s what I pursued in my studies. And it’s what I draw inspiration from to enhance my design work. George Iness said that the true use of art is to cultivate the artist’s own spiritual nature. I definitely think that’s what happened to me.

A Third Generation Artist

If you would have asked me 10 years ago about accounting being in my future, I would have thought you were crazy. It’s not because of the profession, but because I saw myself as a creative free spirit for so long. As a person who desired to experience life in their own way, on their own terms. Of course, that all changed once I found Origami Paperworks. While I may already have had my wings, they were the ones who gave me the chance to fly.

Bringing Structure to Chaos

Somehow, deep down, I always knew I would end up working with programming. While the road that led me here included many twists and turns, I look back now and appreciate my choice to take the path less traveled. It shaped the passionate person I am today, helping me excel with both my hobbies and with my work. I guess it was like my own personal evolution, as mother nature intends to have it.

Navigating the Systems of Life

I have a thing against adjectives. They’re not real storytelling. They’re cheap attempts at persuasion. Real storytelling is to invite the audience on a journey, one which requires nouns and verbs in order to be engaging. The effect you want is for the audience to come up with the adjectives themselves. It’s always about the impression they are left with at the end, not the impression you have yourself to begin with.

The Art of Storytelling

. It feels more like I’m hanging out with my friends. I’ve always been a little shy, but I have gotten to a place where I feel much more secure through my work. I feel like I have found my home. I love to meet new people through my job, seeing all the different people who live in our neighbourhood and hearing their stories.

Artisan Barista with a Heart for People

I have always been passionate about computers. I was learning and actively coding when I was only in the 7th grade! At first, I focused on smaller personal projects. But those small projects sparked my later passions as a professional, as I quickly learned more about the field and developed my skills.

From Hardcore Coding to Nature's Roar

Growing up, I was one of those kids who wanted to be something different every day. My grandfather encouraged me to become whatever I wanted. He would buy books to help me learn more about my current topic of interest. I had a big bookcase full of books covering various topics; science, history, art, geography, cinema, architecture, and fashion design. Among all these books, this one book stood out to me, and I read it every night. It was called “The Design of The Century”.

A Passion for Visual Branding

For me, family is my number one. I grew up in Argentina, with Italian and Spanish grandparents with paramount traditions. To us, Sunday equals family day. I am at my happiest when I have my entire family gathered around a table. Strong values were imprinted in me by my grandfather. I am always true to these values, and eager to pass them on to my children.

Counting Passions

I have always enjoyed both the calm activities nature has to offer and busy city life. And I really had to, seeing that I have spent nearly 15 years in the world of finance, living in the city.  I did love it, but when I was given the opportunity to move back home, I took it as a leap of faith and I have not regretted it since.
