TOM ASTUTO

UX/UI Designer/Developer

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.

I come from a background in graphic design and interactive design before specializing in UX/UI. My current role as Team Lead, enables me to collects qualitative data by listening to users which I believe is the key to designing elegant and engaging user interfaces. My goal is to re-imagine and redefine application design with users in mind and set new standards for any solution, creating elegant interfaces will improve efficiency and have a positive impact on the daily lives of users.

I currently work at MUFG Union Bank, where I spend most of my time crafting and working on projects related to the financial sector.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Vast knowledge about design elements, such as color and composition and typography. My past & current jobs require the technical skills to use design software programs such as Photoshop or Illustrator on daily basis and I have been using them for my entire career.

UX DESIGNER

I focus on the structure and layout of content, navigation and how users interact with them. The types of deliverables I produce include site-maps, user flows, prototypes and wireframes, which are more focused on the underlying structure and purpose of the software or website.

UI DEVELOPER

I focus on the way the functionality is displayed and the fine detail of how users interact with the interface. I produce the visual comps and functioning front-end code (using HTML, CSS, JQuery / JavaScript). This is very much about polished final production quality outputs.

My Work
