Hire Desi at Spotify!

Designlab UX Academy Graduate

Product/Visual Designer

 

Picking up a skateboard was the greatest day of my life.

At a young age, skateboarding introduced me to a world of freedom and triumph, driven by the best songs to be stamped in skateboarding film history forever. This led to my exploration for music long before the luxury of Spotify and the streaming universe. Connecting music to four wheels on wood pushed me to new communities and fellow skateboarders from all walks of life and some great tunes along the way.

I have a passion for connecting experiences with the perfect song to help people remember and re-live moments forever. This has driven my desire to intertwine my story with Spotify’s Product Design Team.

 
 
 

Why Me?

Like any good song, I tell a great story.

My superpower for thoughtful writing carries the power to help people understand and embrace fresh ideas with a compassionate approach to solutions.

I find my answers in deep research and live in the details to prepare for the future. I help users remember the good times with poetic thinking and emotional appeal to capture impressions that excite audiences again, and again.

 
 
 

My Style

The greatest bands contain astounding personalities. Here’s my approach to work described by some of the best:

 

INTUITIVE

“My mind makes marvelous moves, masses marvel and move, many mock what I've mastered.”

— Blackalicious, 1999.

 
 

TRUTHFUL

“'Cause it's plain to see a man's integrity by the way he treats those he does not need. And it’s time we talk about it.

— Miguel, 2017.

 
 

SYNERGISTIC

“I think it's time we blow this scene. Get everybody and the stuff together. Okay, three, two, one, let's jam!”

— The Seatbelts, 1998.
