You can call me Rubes ๐
(he/him)Ruben Baz (sometimes Ruben Savariego) is a designer living and working on Gadigal land.
Inspired by *happy accidents*, he believes curiosity is fundamental to design.
When not designing, you can find him walking unnecessarily fast, daydreaming about brunch, or writing about himself in third person.
Ruben is currently working as a Junior Designer at Apparent.
