UNEFA

If you've made it this far, you're likely curious as to how my background in Telecommunications engineering fits into my current business.

You see, being a tech enthusiast is an integral part of who I am. 

I have a passion for learning about innovative solutions, with a particular interest in IoT protocols and Satellite communications. I possess coding skills as well as the ability to create electronic circuits.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "What does this have to do with design?" 
While it may not seem related, I recognized the potential to leverage these skills in the Web3 space.

As a university professor, I often found myself teaching my students about Starlink and other technical topics. At the same time, I began freelancing and creating unique designs for clients around the world.

Despite being referred to as the "youngest teacher," I loved my job.

However, in 2018, I discovered Bitcoin and became in love with it.
One day I decided to focus all my efforts on designing for Web3 business. 

So I did.

And I won’t lie – turning my passion into a business felt incredibly good.
Web3 is the perfect match for creativity and tech.

So, how does being a "University Professor" make me a better Designer than I am today? 
1. It's easier for me to understand the technicalities of Web3.
2. I learnt how to explain complex things easily.
3. It's me being me. Authenticity rules!

I help Web3 businesses improve their brand awareness 🚀 Brand Strategist | Graphic Designer | 2D Artist | Web Designer | I’m passionate about blockchain, NFTs and the power of building decentralized communities.

Hi! If you're reading this, it's likely because:
👉 You want to turbocharge your growth.
👉 You're a designer looking to improve your skills.
👉 You are a Web3 Recruiter looking for a designer.

After years of freelancing, I saw a gap – a need for design that spoke the language of Web3.

I can effectively communicate complex design concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. I love working collaboratively with developers, product managers, and marketing teams. I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow as a designer. 

Building in the decentralized world comes with unique challenges. You need to stand out in a crowded marketplace, foster trust with a new audience, and create interfaces that are intuitive and secure. That's where I come in.

Here's how I help you win in Web3:

✅ Web3 Marketing: Create compelling marketing materials that drive adoption and engagement.
✅ UI/UX: Design user interfaces that are not only beautiful but also intuitive.
✅ Branding: Build a strong brand identity that resonates with your audience.

Being a mathematician in wealth management never sat right with me. I only found myself in entrepreneurship, with an interest in building business systems and establishing connections. 

And MARKETING was the most interesting system of all. 

Starting a marketing agency in 2019, I came to the quick realization that marketing is the engine of any business. 

Having been (forcefully) in the army in 2020-2021, was the first major challenge for business as the marketing agency as I could no longer operate the business daily. Having to learn to build independent teams while keeping up the level of efficiency. 

By 2022, delivering off-the-shelf solutions to businesses became boring, business had to immigrate abroad, becoming multinational with the team now spread out across 4 continents, and the offer changed completely. I needed a new challenge. 

In 2023, I am leading miimu team. a next-gen marketing agency offering CUSTOM solutions to build DYNAMIC brands. 

Blackfiles Marketing Podcast goes live, connecting with marketers and C-Level executives to democratize practical and applicable marketing tips and tricks for everyone. 

It's been a ride.

Today, I am running several projects, using the systems, frameworks, and experience to drive businesses as well as helping optimize enterprises through the application of the aforementioned systems.

The chief project is miimu team. still going strong and growing brands across the world. 

Uncharted Travel is organizing premium business travel for C-Levels executives, Founders, Entrepreneurs, and more to the most exotic locations around the world.
