About

I’m a product designer with more than 10 years of experience. I have worked in-house in the content marketing and publishing industries. Working with marketing teams has made me understand the importance of qualitative and quantitative research to create products that meet the user needs. I’m skilled at creating visuals for websites,  working and communicating with diverse teams. I love learning about AI. I get excited about the future of user experience design in AI.

A little bit more about me
🧘🏽 I practice Ashtanga yoga, the yoga of the eight limbs, 6x a week.
🌳  I like spending time in nature and going for a hike.
📚 I love books. Currently reading Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
🎨  I also illustrate on my iPad. Check out my art on instagram @itzy_designs
🖼️ I enjoy a visit to the museum and getting inspired by the art.
