Brief Facts About Me
In the throbbing heart of London's vibrant streets, amidst the colorful tapestry of the 1980s, I drew my first breaths at St Thomas’ Hospital Medical School. An intricate blend of European heritage defines my roots - my father's lineage tracing back to the rolling hills of Italy, while my mother embodies the fiery spirit of Spain.
My upbringing was a harmonious fusion of the majestic landscapes of northern Italy and the sun-drenched shores of southern Spain. From the quaint cobblestone streets of Borgosesia, Vercelli, Italy, to the majestic coastal cliffs of Gorliz, Bilbao, and the tranquil beaches of Torrevieja, Alicante, Spain, my formative years were an immersive journey through diverse cultures and breathtaking scenery.
Passion became my guiding star from a tender age; I found solace and expression in the elegant contours of automotive design, sketching visions of sleek machines that seemed to dance with the wind. Equally at home amidst the crashing waves, I became a lifelong devotee of the ocean, finding solace and exhilaration atop a surfboard.
The melodies of different languages became my symphony; fluent in the cadences of Castilian Spanish, the eloquence of English, the lyrical beauty of Italian, and the melodious tones of Swedish, I effortlessly traversed linguistic boundaries.
Summers bathed in the Mediterranean sun found me standing as a vigilant sentinel along the Spanish coast, serving as a lifeguard, a silent guardian of lives amidst the azure expanse. Driven by the thirst for adventure and discovery, I ventured to the lush landscapes of Harrogate in my twenties, lured by the mystique of British life and culture.
Yet, the siren call of my ancestral lands beckoned, and I returned to the warm embrace of Spanish sunshine, seeking solace amidst the familiar lands I had missed. Relocating to Helsinki with my beloved wife in 2011, and now finding sanctuary in the tranquil beauty of the Åland Islands, I stand proudly as both a father and a devoted husband.
Inspired by a simple tweak of my Android phone settings, I embarked on a journey into the realm of web development. Launching my inaugural project, Colors and Fonts, in 2018, I have since dedicated myself to the art of digital creation, constantly refining and expanding my digital footprint.
Despite encountering challenges, including developing projects on a laptop with a failing screen, I persevered, ultimately seeing two projects acquired in 2022. Initiating ventures such as Lexington Themes and Windstatic, I officially unveiled them to the world in February 2023.
Simplicity and clarity have always been the guiding principles of my design philosophy. Consistency, both in life and work, serves as my steadfast companion, guiding my approach to web development, project management, and personal growth.
Reflecting on my journey from the varied landscapes of Italy and Spain to the burgeoning tech scene of the Åland Islands, I have embraced the challenges and opportunities that each transition brought forth. Fueled by an unwavering passion for design, development, and entrepreneurship, I march forward, with consistency as the cornerstone of my success. As I continue to explore new ventures and embark on creative endeavors, I remain steadfastly committed to the principles of simplicity and clarity that define both my work and life philosophy.
Thank you for taking the time to acquaint yourself with my story. I am filled with anticipation for the adventures that lie ahead, eagerly anticipating the ongoing evolution of my projects and personal endeavors. May your day be filled with beauty and inspiration.
