UI/UX Designer
Hello, my name is Alex and Astromonk is my creation. I am a self-taught designer and developer from Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I have 7 years of experience in this area, first starting as a Graphic Designer, then moving to Web and Mobile Apps. Learning also to code, allowed me to be involved in the entire development process, from understanding clients’ requirements, to outlining business objectives and overcoming technical limitations.
I always create for the user while keeping the business goals in check. I focus on building products, experiences and platforms that have the power to transform a brand and the web. I have been in business since I was 4 when I made my first stickman, so my belief is that beauty resides in simplicity; therefore I plan, create and grow digital products by finding simple solutions to complex challenges.

DINCOLO DE TACERE
Website: www.dincolodetacere.net"Dincolo de Tacere" is an independent NGO, non-politically affiliated, focusing to help persons who struggle with different disabilities, and especially children who are diagnosed with autism. Moreover, the association is a member of FEDRA (The Federation for Rights and Resources for Persons who Suffer from Autism), and from November 1, 2014, is an accredited social services provider.
Since I live in Cluj now and the NGO is based in Galati, I deal with the technical aspects (as in the website which will get out of the construction zone in a week) and also the social media. Besides that I write the blog section for the website and I do all the translations for the materials that are used in therapy.
