Telepolis’ El Asistente
Design: 2004
Client: Telepolis
During the years 2000-2004, I worked for a internet portal called Telepolis. Beyond the excellent content written by the editorial staff, the visitors could create their own website within ‘Club Telepolis’. In order to get a laymen started, who didn’t have any knowledge of FTP and website software, the online application ‘The Assistant’ was developed: a content management system like WordPress. This concept was pretty abstract to the beginner, so I decided to give this service a face and designed a helping buddy. This way, the application interface received its own friendly look. The cheerful butler was also applied to banners and other publicity items. I had a great time both creating him and seeing him in action!

About MissPixel
Global entrepreneur
Based in Barcelona and working in the cloud, I love international flavoured collaborations. I’m fluent in English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French, like to travel and am curious about different cultures. Your project can be discussed in your office enjoying a cup of tea or we can set up a Skype call. There's always a way to communicate!
Skills
In 1998, I earned my bachelors in graphic design in Breda, The Netherlands. Just as the internet bubble formed, I moved to Spain and eagerly studied web design and interfaces on my own. Now, I combine design with teaching, as I love to share my knowledge with students and clients alike. A full work history can be found at MissPixel’s Linkedin profile.
Balance
The joy of work is in the balance: organising and taking care of customers in the user experience field, mathematical challenges in HTML coding and composing bright colourful palettes on screen and paper.
These three perspectives harmoniously come together into one goal: making people happy with useful and beautiful designs. Boy, do I love my job!
