I'm a product and visual designer with a background in graphic design.

I am passionate about identifying problems and turning them into opportunities through creative, user-centered solutions. I share the vision of a more accessible world for everyone.

My inspirations and interests

My interest in the visual world, from art and composition to photography and film, began long before I started my career as a designer. I enjoy exploring exhibitions and walking through them. I also love hiking and enjoying a good cup of coffee. My favorite? Panamanian coffee.

Education

I studied Advertising and Communications in Peru and completed an academic exchange at the University of Málaga. During the pandemic, I pursued a master’s degree in Visual Design at La Gauss Multimedia, where I discovered my passion for UX/UI design. Later, I completed a master’s in Digital Product Design (UX/UI and Front End) at Shifta by Elisava in Barcelona.

Experience

I have experience in editorial graphic design, branding, and social media. I worked as a graphic designer for the architecture firm and as a freelance designer, developing various graphic assets. In my last role, I was a UI designer, creating landing pages and websites in Adobe XD, working closely with developers. Currently, I work as a product designer.
