Robert VASILE

work experience

• I'm a seasoned UX/UI Designer and relatively fresh Product Designer, ex advertising professional, creative and results oriented, pretty good analyst and strategist, proficient IT geek.

  Designing for a better experience, I literally consider myself a firefighter, but wish there will come a day when no fires are left to be extinguished.

  All these with a little UI Development cherry on top, meaning i did quite a lot of coding on personal or small projects. Although I worked modern UI Development for quite a few large scale enterprise projects, I'd estimate that somewhere around 90% or more of the production code i delivered for those projects was actually design/interaction implementation with HTML/CSS/JS. I also have experience working design/interaction implementation with HTML/CSS/JS on large scale web-apps built with PHP, Java and .NET.

  Even so, i prefer my relationship with hardcore UI/Frontend Development to go as far as developing functional prototypes with React/Next/MUI/HTML/CSS, including, but not necessarily limiting to, moking up data endpoints with public mocking APIs, json-server or Directus and SQL DBs.

  Robert is a very creative, inspired and talented graphic designer... From POS materials to packaging, every project we worked on was a challenge to deliver the best artwork ever in couple of days... His proven experience of graphic production from start to published/printed product with knowledge of printing processes (offset and digital) and color management and his ability of adding personal valuable insights to each project recommends him as the best graphic designer I ever worked with.

  Robert is a creative mind. Hard to manage like most independent and free thinking people, but once you gain his trust he can really be a good source of ideas and bring fresh perspective. He does what he does well when priority is content and uniqueness.

  Robert Zănescu

  Senior Marketing Partner

  November 4, 2009, Robert was a client of Robert’s

  I had the opportunity to work with Robert Vasile in two different situations, while I was the Marketing Manager of StarFoods/Pepsico and as an Entrepreneur who runs his own marketing outsourcing company (www.zanescu.ro). Robert Vasile approaches his customers with equal attention and care for details. While creativity and technique are employed by him in every instance, business sense is the corner stone of his proposal architecture. I recommend Robert Vasile and I will ask for his service again and again.

  We have worked closely together during the time that he was a PepsiCo employee and in that time whatever I needed he always looked to bring innovative ideas accordingly per project type and he helped us to make the difference in a very competitive FMCG market. Robert is extremely well informed in all aspects and this is helps him in the projects that he runs. I welcome the opportunity to work with him in the future.

  When you need a good solution for developing any advertising materials (Packaging, POSM, web, etc), Robert is the right person to call. He’s fast, proactive, flexible and very creative. I was very pleased with the outcome of our collaboration in all the projects we worked together during the past five years, as colleagues and collaborators. I can always count on him!

  Marius Dumitrașcu

  Senior Executive - Marketing & Category Management/ Revenue Strategy Management

  November 2, 2009, Marius was senior to Robert but didn’t manage directly

  When you need to achieve your business/brand objectives within tight time frames and not having all solid marketing processes to support your plans, you need to find flexible and professional solutions, especially in the creative/DTP areas. Robert was for me the solution of developing great consumer materials (packaging, POSM etc) overnight, delivering every time the expected communication objectives for each material. Robert is working great with professionals who know exactly what they have to achieve and use solid arguments along the advertising materials development process.

  Robert is intelligent and talented, experienced, hard working, sometimes stubborn and difficult, but in the end a team player. Besides art direction, Robert has a wide range of other skills, from DTP to IT or video editing, which made us call him “the Swiss army knife”. I highly recommend him to any ad agency or creative department.
