About

Welcome to my LinkedIn profile! I am a professional with +10 years of experience, started in graphic design and specializing later in UX/UI and digital product design. I am driven to create user-centered experiences that balance aesthetics, functionality, and intuitive interaction.


After getting my bachelor degree in graphic design, I had the opportunity to live in four different countries, which allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the evolving needs of users in various contexts. This experience sparked my passion for identifying, creating, and continuously improving user experiences.


My career has been enriched by my work at a leading design agency and my collaboration with international startups, participating in dynamic projects and agile environments. In these roles, I have worked closely with multidisciplinary teams to define and develop design solutions. I have led project management from the ideation phase through to final development, ensuring clear communication and constant alignment with developers, product managers, and stakeholders.


My technical skills include user research to understand user needs and behaviors, creating interactive prototypes in Figma, building design systems, conducting usability testing to optimize interfaces, and iterative design. With a meticulous approach, I ensure that each solution not only meets user expectations but also drives business goals.

UX/UI Designer
ProductionCrate
December 2022 - January 2024 (1 years and 2 months)
San Diego, California, United States

I joined ProductionCrate as a UX/UI designer, where I immediately identified the lack of hierarchy in the website design, the absence of a cohesive graphic system, and an inadequate search function for the platform's complexity. My key contributions included:


• UX: Recognizing the complexities of the existing information architecture, I conducted user research and benchmarking analysis. This led to a comprehensive review in collaboration with the CEOs and developers. Through multiple iterations, we successfully reorganized the information architecture, creating a more intuitive user flow that enhanced usability. Additionally, I optimized the search functionality by implementing relevant filters and categories, facilitating quicker access to desired content, which increased user engagement and reduced drop-off rates.


• UI: ProductionCrate not only offers products through the website but also has desktop applications and editing software plugins. I developed a comprehensive Design System that detailed all necessary components to ensure visual and functional consistency across all platforms. This streamlined the design and development processes, saving time in duplicating and adapting UI elements for all the platforms.


• TeamWork: Maintaining constant communication with the CEOs and developers, along with conducting user testing and iterations, fostered a dynamic work environment. This not only reduced production times and costs but also positioned ProductionCrate to attract new users and enhance the experience for current users, ensuring a more accessible and satisfying interface.

UX/UI Designer
Hakuna
June 2022 - July 2024 (2 years and 2 months)

I joined Hakuna as a UX/UI designer with a primary focus on UI. My key contributions include:


• B2B Website: I designed a web platform for businesses, enabling Hakuna to scale its presence in the corporate market and establish initial contact with major clients. Through extensive user research and benchmarking analysis, I defined the information architecture and optimized user flows tailored for the B2B context. Subsequently, we implemented an interactive dashboard that reflects the impact of services on employee performance.


• Lead UX/UI Designer: I took on the role of lead designer, focusing on improving the UI and optimizing the UX of the app. Through usability testing, I identified friction points in user flows and conducted a redesign, adjusting user journeys. These enhancements significantly increased user engagement and satisfaction while reducing users drop-offs.


• Design System: The app faced challenges due to a lack of design standards and component systems, leading to UI inconsistencies. In response, I led the development of a design system that improved app scalability, adhering to Material Design guidelines to ensure compliance for App Store and Google Play approvals. This facilitated the integration of new features and reduced development times to this day.


• Graphic Assets: I designed over 1000 items, including components, mockups, icons, and assets, ensuring visual coherence across the app, website, and other applications.


• Branding Improvement: I strengthened Hakuna’s visual identity with my skills, leading and coordinating with external agencies to ensure the accurate implementation of design guidelines.


• Team Collaboration: I maintained constant communication with developers, CEOs, and stakeholders, allowing for iterative reviews and adjustments to roadmaps. My contributions helped Hakuna evolve its value proposition, positioning the app with a strong presence against competitors.
