ABOUT ME.

As a product designer, I can bring a versatile vision to projects because of my experience and knowledge in several areas of design. The use of different tools such as Figma, Adobe tools and 3D modeling programs, allows me to create creative solutions, environmentally conscious, functional and focused on the needs of users. An example of how I do this is the design of a solid perfume where I had to find a solution in a decisive way so the final product took into account all the details, from the form, aesthetics and function to the packaging, life cycle and the waste it generated.

I believe that learning, professional and personal growth is not exclusive to one's own formation, but also to the experiences and sharing of knowledge with colleagues in the sector. I value teamwork and feedback in order to constantly improve. In projects such as the design of Dessous de plat, where I explored ceramics and added a design vision by creating a modular system to optimize it, I was able to experiment, work with professionals and make mistakes in order to learn. On the other hand, the internship has allowed me to work with a design team and deepen in UX/UI design fundamentals such as wireframes, user flows and interface principles, in addition to learning about design systems to facilitate hierarchy and visual organization.

Through my projects I have improved my organizational skills, time management and keeping an open mind for constant learning. In the Spotify Wrapped project, I got into generative design and code writing, improving my organization and attention to detail to ensure a coherent and visually consistent solution with the other sections of the app.
