More about me.

Although I started as a front-end developer, my passion for developing and designing applications has made me an expert in this field. My first foray into UX was after winning an internal challenge at IBM to create a mobile application for marketing events. Since then, I have worked in the banking, industrial, telecommunications, NGO, and retail sectors.

Since December 2023 some folks and I started a non-profitable organization to help designers to increase their presentation skills, we call it Designs Huddle.

Aditionally I am an advocate for technology, and I like to participate in speaches, coaching sessions and voluntering activities related to this topic.

Kendrick Mason

User Experience Design Lead @ JPMorgan&Chase

I have had the pleasure of managing Emmanuel during his time working for JPMorgan Chase. Emmanuel truly cares for the user that he is designing for and carefully thinks through a problem to come up with a solution. He is open to taking on new challenges and projects whenever called upon and takes pride in his work. He constantly worked on improving his skills while at Chase, including working on his public speaking and communicating design decisions. Emmanuel collaborated well with the team and helped out whenever it was asked of him. His career as a UX Designer is looking bright!

Sam Catling

CECS UX & Visual Designer @ IBM

I worked closely with Emmanuel in the 6-week IBM Design Patterns course incubator project and it was a real pleasure working with him. Emmanuel is a highly skilled and driven team player and drives design thinking thoughtfully throughout all of his projects. I was very impressed with his ability to work and speak so efficiently in a completely different language that he felt he was still learning, Emmanuel has a natural ability to interpret his non-native languages effectively and I would encourage him to work further with international teams such as ours. From the beginning of the project, I could always rely on Emmanuel to speak up and ask poignant and useful questions. His strongest skills are around running workshops and facilitating, he always handles these with natural leadership and flare. I hope, one day, I'll get work with Emmanuel again, and I expect him to go very far in his career!
