design experiments

What if WhatsApp used Instagram-like stickers?

I thought that displaying attachments as stickers could make chats more diverse and personal.The concept uses APIs for iOS and Android to display multiple camera streams at once.

Samuel's profile picture.

Ciao! My name is Samuel.
Since I was a child, i loved drawing and "designing" things. Lifelong friends and family remember me for recognizing brands just for their design, since I was a toddler.
Approaching the Personal Computer was an epiphany for me. I've always been a really observant person, so as I was gaining confidence with softwares, I was noticing a reoccuring critical approach towards them.
So I started redesigning those softwares, not because I wanted them to be more beautiful, but because I wanted them to be more understandable for everyone. Even though at the time the process didn't have a name, I really loved doing it.
In 2018 I started Computer Engineering at UNIMORE, but as years passed I realized there wasn't space for my creativity to shine. So in 2023 I quit, conscious and grateful for the knowledge I've acquired, and started my journey as a designer.
