Portrait of Vanessa

⤑ I’m a multidisciplinary designer, driven by curiosity, passionate about Human-Centered Design and motivated to create experiences that contribute to a better future.

Design Fields & Experience

For the past five years, I have worked as a senior designer on an interdisciplinary team, leading projects and teams in interactive experience design and design strategy.

I approach my work with a methodological, human-centered, and self-responsible manner, always aiming for simplicity.

My holistic approach has enabled me to develop a wide range of skills, and I am eager to continue growing and exploring new areas of design.

My next priority is to prioritize UX research, innovation, and UX design. I am interested in expanding my professional expertise beyond design and the digital space to explore the intersection of design and science. I am passionate about learning, and I am expanding my knowledge in UX research, psychology, and AI.
