You find yourself now in the Fiveblackcats website. I’m Lucia Dossin and Fiveblackcats is the platform under which I have been working, since 2004. I work and live in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

I started my journey in ‘making websites’ in 2000, after working as photographer assistant and also as art director assistant for tv commercial productions, in São Paulo, Brazil. I should also mention that I graduated in Architecture (at FAUUSP), and that I love Cinema, so you might be guessing that I’m someone interested in the visual-chromatic-spatial-aesthetical-interactive aspects of our Culture, which is absolutely right.

My first job in the Internet Industry took place during the dot-com bubble. I worked as intern, basically making Flash animations, at a small company called Officina8. After leaving Officina8, I worked for Grafikonstruct, basically creating and designing interfaces for websites done mainly in Flash. Both studios have at least two things in common: great people with whom it was a pleasure to work and interesting clients and motivating projects – mainly related to photography, visual arts, fashion and cinema.

After I left Grafikonstruct, I began to work independently, both alone or with partners, depending of the size and complexity of the project. Arthur Debert, Fernando Kreigne, Marcelo Moisés and Zeh Fernando were valuable partners in projects along the way. My role in the process and the tools I use have changed during these years, and nowadays I design interfaces, plan the architecture and develop the front-end. I also design and develop for WordPress.
