About
With a strong foundation in software engineering and graphic design, I have cultivated a diverse career in UX and UI design. I earned an Apis and Microservices Certification from freeCodeCamp in 2018 and a Técnico Superior Universitario in Diseño gráfico from Colegio Universitario Monseñor de Talavera in 2012. My professional journey began as a Graphic Designer at Publicidad Vepaco, where I honed my skills in visual content creation. I then transitioned to Teachlr, where I significantly improved mobile traffic and sales through user-friendly UI redesigns. At Teachlr Organizaciones LMS, I enhanced client acquisition and retention by designing intuitive features and creating effective sales tools. Currently, as a UX Designer at Dataquest.io, I focus on designing interactive UI elements and improving platform usability. My experience in content design and UX has equipped me with the ability to align educational content with user needs and platform goals.
