about me:

Hi, my name is Daniel. I am almost 18 years old. Currently I am living in a little village in beatiful Salta, north Argentina, but usually I´m from munich, Germany. I can speak conversational spanisch, good english and german. I like playing Volleyball, Tabletennis, Football, I like driving on my motorbike, fishing, driving fast boats, actually I like driving anything that is driveable. I love travelling and seeing the world. But apart from that I obviously also like designing, and creating things...

about this website:

My idea or concept with this Website was inspired by the first Apple Macinthosch. The Hello, the logo with the stripes (rainbow), the font, it´s all kind of stolen from apple. I am personely honestly not 100% happy with the design of the page, I like that it is diffrent and Unique, and ofcourse the old-apple-design inspiration, but there are a lot of things that could be better. Nontheless I just wanted to stop waiting to find/make the perfect design and just code the page so I have something to showcase. So maybe in some time I will find the time and energy for redoing this, until then this is it, I hope you at least like it a little bit. Eventhough it´s such a small page, coding it (especially the stupid shap of the main-container) was quite some work coding it, especially because I am not using some no-code website-buidling tools like framer.

about designing:

I am not quite sure where my passion for designing comes from, it could be from a very great AppleTV Series called "Home", I have only seen a few episodes, but Episode 3 "Bali: Shama Springs" — which is about building houses from bamboo — really inspired me back then and I wanted to become an architect. As a kid I used to draw floor plans of my dream house, but just plans felt kind of boring, so at some point I started teaching myself Adobe Illustrator. I ended up designing around 25 posters and covered every inch of my bedroom wall with them. And then...

about developing:

At some point I started designing logos just for fun, and after that I moved on to designing websites and random tools and productivity stuff I thought were cool in Figma. But Figma prototypes somehow didn’t really cut it either — I wanted things to actually work. So I started learning how to code. My dad taught me the basics (it’s what he does for a living, after all), but the majority I taught myself. That’s how I got into coding. At first it was just HTML and CSS, then JavaScript and CSS frameworks, and later I picked up frameworks like Vue and Laravel and built a few real full-stack projects. Then when I moved to Argentina, I coded less for a while and went back to design — I was used to having a mouse, keyboard and two big monitors, and now I only had my little MacBook. Plus I was genuinely enjoying design again. But eventually I wanted to finally build my portfolio, and this version (V2) I coded entirely by myself. And then I met Claude, my new best friend, and now I code about 10x faster. That’s why I rebuilt the portfolio from scratch as V1, which I honestly think is much better design-wise — but I put so much time into this one that I wanted to keep it public too.

If you have an interesting Design or Web-Development Project and would like to work with me, please send me a message.

How can I get back to you?

Some Price Directions:

Generally speaking I don´t have fixed prices, since I´m not an agency or anything, I am also not going to do any project (only one´s that are fun or that have clients who really like to pay). My prices are also not determined by time spend or rationalism, but rather by how much fun I think I will have. At the moment that favors Design-Projects, because I currently enjoy designing stuff, even more if it´s for a cool company..

This is what that could mean in numbers

Brand-Identity Design: 150$ - 300$ (depending on scale and how cool the project is)
Other Graphic Design stuff: 30$ - ? (Really depends on what you want..)
Static Webdesign Project: 300$ - 1000$ (depending on complexity and number of pages)
Web-application: a lot, except if it´s REALLY cool than maybe not (because backend stuff, as well as complex js frontends with vue really just take time, and while everyone is saying that AI can do all the coding, if it is something a little complex and you have a very detailed vision of how it should look and what it should do, then AI can unfortunatly still not do that)

These numbers come without guarantee, if you want to know for sure just give me a message with briefly what your project would be about and I will send you a fix price (ofcourse negotiable if you like negotiating)
