  • On Microinteractions

    Dribbble is full of cute UI animations and quite a few designers confuse them with microinteracations. Some people confuse it with a similar sounding word – “Drivel”. Many of those are more of an interstitial than a microinteraction. If they tell a story they can not be a microinteraction.

    Simple Android feed reader I made for my personal use and without features I do not need. Just a simple feed reader with images (and blacklisting).

  • Pizza Calculator

    To be able to design UX for platform I believe one needs to know how to develop for that platform so I made up a few projects to familiarize myself with Android platform development.
