Side Projects

Fabio Michelan

In addition to my work on Design and Innovation projects for clients, I also enjoy developing personal projects, products and content. Here are some of my latest endeavors.

DesignerTrack.

As the founder of DesignerTrack, I lead a platform dedicated to empowering designers to achieve their personal and professional goals. Our approach involves curating informative content and useful links, as well as offering tailored courses to foster individual development. Since its inception in 2020, our platform has grown to support designers across the entire country.

Throughout my career, I've had numerous conversations with aspiring designers and have always made an effort to support them in their journey to start their careers. These conversations have centered around topics such as overcoming challenges, portfolio tips and career advice. Currently, I volunteer as a mentor at ADPList to help designers all over the world.

Writing.

Writing has always been one of my passions. I previously created Diretores de Arte, which became one of the largest Brazilian websites specializing in art direction for cinema, design, photography, games, illustration and advertising, between 2012 and 2015. Currently, I write articles about design on Medium. Additionally, I'm working on writing an ebook focused on creating amazing Design portfolios.

Board games have also been a passion of mine, and the idea of creating my own game has been a longtime dream.

Time Machine Rocket.

I'm proud to have created Time Machine Rocket, a card game that combines strategy and luck with the added thrill of being able to interfere with your opponents' game. Inspired by time travel narratives, the game's theme centers around unexpected encounters between historical figures from different eras. The ultimate objective is to travel through time and assemble the most impressive team of personalities from history - including the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Bruce Lee - to achieve victory. With its fast-paced gameplay and simple mechanics, Time Machine Rocket is a fun and engaging game that's sure to be enjoyed by players of all skill levels. It was published via crowdfunding in 2021.
