¡Hola!
I’m an interaction and digital product designer with a passion for building inclusive experiences
Knowledge areas
Product design
I’m always with product mentality. In other words, I’m gathering insights from previous research studies, understading how to iterate the product to increase the value proposition, thinking about how to measure new proposals, etc.
Interaction design
I’m experienced in understanding how people interact with interfaces using different devices and assistive technologies. Plus, applying accessibility principles improve the experience for everyone.
Accessibility & Inclusive design
Digital accessibility is about meeting users’ needs regardless of their ability. And inclusive design, goes far from that and considers all dimensions of human diversity. I’ve helped several organizations improving their interfaces to meet accessibility requirements and being more inclusive.
Photography
Not exactly related to design but this is part of who I am and how I see the world. I love street and documentary photography as it allows me to capture people and their ways of being and behave.
