About

Green Card holder | Bilingual English & Spanish Dynamic digital graphic design engineer specializing in Interface Design and UX Research, I develop user-focused solutions. Skilled in every phase of the design process, from user research and wireframing to prototyping, I ensure seamless asset delivery to developers. With a background in coding, I collaborate effectively with developers to translate designs into functional interfaces, ensuring cohesive and intuitive user experiences. I adeptly lead cross-functional teams to create groundbreaking products, guaranteeing user satisfaction throughout the entire lifecycle. With a collaborative spirit, unwavering motivation, and a penchant for rapid learning, I am poised to make meaningful contributions to any team or project. Outside of my professional pursuits, I am a published author with Alfaguara, Penguin Random House, and have honed my skills as a micro-influencer and activist within the fashion, beauty, and Body Positive hispanic community.
