About me
Hello! I’m Mario, a Senior UX Designer with over 18 years work experience. I started my career as a Digital Designer working on a medical portal for a pharmaceutical. I advanced as a Web Developer working for award winning agencies Sectorlight and Sutton Young. I later started Redtank to work with clients directly. I am now part of the Audio Video Key Experience team at the BBC that ensures a consistent, core playback experience across all web and native BBC products including iPlayer, Sounds, BBC News, BBC Sport.
In my spare time, I grill, motorcycle and play with my children. Our current favourite is building incredible towns in Minecraft.
