I'm Mirko B.

Ciao, I'm a UI/UX designer and proud Linux user from Italy, born in '94.

My story in the world of computing began when the first PC arrived at home, I was very young. I was shocked by this "magic" box, not so much because it showed images but because I could move the contents on this screen, not like on TV. I immediately understood that from that day on it was going to be part of my life in some way.

I remember spending my time writing texts on the computer for my father. I learned the keyboard by heart after a very short time. I spent a lot of time taking care of the formatting of the text: colors, fonts (those few available).

One day a family friend brings us a box containing a CD with Debian. My brother and I immediately tried to install it, this took a long time because we didn't really know what we were doing. I remember that was my first experience with a Linux distribution and with KDE. A short time later I installed Ubuntu 8.04 and started using it more often.

A few years later I received my first personal PC with Windows XP, with which I created my first website.

Over the years I have cultivated a lot my passion for design and user experience. With each job my passion for attention to detail grew, to the point that I could no longer work with existing frameworks, I found them heavy and vast. The interfaces were all the same for me, they all used the same frameworks, the same lines. I then started excluding them from my workflow, going back to working from scratch. This allowed me to break out of the box and create something new.

Over the years I have curated the UX of the products of various companies. Since 2021 I have been dedicating myself to UI and UX for the products of fabricators.ltd, the company of which I am a partner together with Pietro, a dear friend of mine.

I am a strong supporter of Open Source and in my spare time I work on personal projects and contribute to others.
