UX/UI Portfolio
I designed the following solo projects as opportunities to practice real-world UX/UI design processes, including user testing, research, prototyping, and even development. These projects showcase some of my simple and technical approaches to solving UX challenges.
Nefer Museum Website
A UX/UI design case study for a tiny museum website. Explores Website Design, Responsive Design, and Website Development.
Theatron Movie App
A UX/UI design case study for a modern movie theater mobile app. Focuses on App design and UX core concepts.
*I also completely designed and developed this website and its case studies, from sketches to Figma, and finally to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I consider it to be my most significant website design and development project yet.*
Skills
Personal Projects
I’ve explored a range of creative pursuits—from digital art and product design to game development. Each project has taught me new skills and how to connect them in unique ways. For example, this game prototype showcases my solo work in Unity, C#, asset creation, and animation. I’m currently developing ideas for games, prototypes, and apps, with plans to showcase more soon.
All of these solo ventures have been enjoyable and valuable for building a foundation, but I recognize the importance of collaboration for further growth. I feel that it’s time to join a team, learn from others, and contribute my own cultivated skills to create something impactful. This next step will allow my creative vision to grow, combining everything I’ve learned and offering it up in service to something greater. I look forward to seeing how these skills can come together within a larger project.
My Art
The artwork displayed here comes from a few years ago, with the newest piece dating back to late 2021. While these works represent an earlier stage in my journey, the core elements of my style are still present. I’m currently working on a new wave of illustrations that reflect my vision and style as they are today, and I’m excited to update this portfolio soon.
About Me
I’m Felipe Villada, a 21-year-old multidisciplinary designer and artist from Argentina. I've always been drawn to "creating" in some way, whether through art, design, or development. I love bringing ideas to life, from drawing tiny creatures as a kid and recognizing their unique personalities to exploring 2D animation, 3D modeling, game development, and even robotics.
I grew up in a small town surrounded by nature, which sparked a deep fascination with biology, ecology, and observing the world around me. I like frogs, collecting fossils, and dismantling old electronics. I enjoy caring for plants and animals, as well as exploring philosophy, psychology, and other studies of Nature that challenge old perspectives and deepen my understanding of life and creativity.
In 2020, I faced a profound personal crisis, hitting rock bottom after struggling with severe depression and agoraphobia. It became a turning point, forcing me to confront and rebuild from within, learning to truly listen to myself and move forward. Today, I focus on practices that help me grow mentally, emotionally, and creatively. I haven’t felt depressed since that turning point; in fact, I’ve never felt so alive, finding joy in everyday life. So I now add that my perspective is genuinely optimistic.
I'm excited to continue learning, exploring, and creating, and I’m eager to make a living through my work. I look forward to collaborating with others who share my passion for bringing meaningful projects to life. I really am.
