not just a designer.
With a wide breadth of experience as a product designer, markup developer, producer, mentor, and more, Mario has helped build and grow companies of all sizes with the Swiss Army knife of skills at his disposal.
Currently, I am part of a dual role as a Design and Brand Consultant for Magic Button Labs and a Senior Designer for Datakwip.
Magic Button Labs is a business process consulting company helping to increase the revenue of small businesses by implementing lean practices and more efficient processes. My role is to create guidelines for the brand, consult on how best to sell our services, and develop marketing and sales materials as we grow the company.
Datakwip provides energy consumption, cost, and improvement insights for large companies. As a Senior Designer, my role is to take the complex sets of data available to us and display the information concisely and intuitively so that our users may better understand and act on the energy data they share with us.
Balancing my time appropriately between these responsibilities has been a rewarding journey.
