Vibor Cipan is currently serving as a CEO and Partner of the FatDUX Zagreb office, a full service interactive agency with offices around the world. Before joining FatDUX, Vibor worked at Microsoft Development Center in Copenhagen and before that at Microsoft Croatia. One thing, however, has stayed constant, which is his focus on user experience, service design, usability, and information architecture. He has been awarded the prestigious title Microsoft Most Valuable Professional for three years in a row (and is still currently holding that title). He was the youngest awardee and first one in the CEE Europe to receive the award while a full-time student.

He is technologically agnostic, but, his main interests however are focused around Silverlight, WPF, Expression, and Windows Phone user experiences. If asked if he is a designer or developer he will most likely say something like "I'm a devigner—a very special and unique breed. Instead of sitting on a chair, I've decided to be a bridge. I'm pixel pusher at heart, yet I'm confident navigating and understanding the code. Oh and throw in some business consulting and management and that would be my (dream) job."

Today, Cipan is a well known professional and speaker, often seen talking at local and international conferences about user experience and service design topics, evangelizing and teaching the importance of the UX and service design for clients and building world class UX and service design solutions spanning the desktop, web, mobile ,and offline worlds.

He is an active blogger blogging at his UX Passion blog (http://www.uxpassion.com/) and he is on Twitter under @viborc name. When he is not UX'ing he's an avid bicyclist and traveler.

Some of his firm's clients are Microsoft,Real Networks and IISEIE, Zappos, Amazon, UN, and many others.
