UX Designer
BIO
I have experience working in-house, as well as doing Freelance design in the Miami Metropolitan Area,
and I understand the importance of prioritizing the client's needs at all times, in order to achieve the best visual
solutions. My professional background is in Graphic Design, with a focus on all things digital. My career has evolved
to the point where I am now a User Experience Designer. I am interested in mobile applications, as well as emerging technology
such as VR/AR.
My colleagues would describe me as
resourceful, disciplined, and open to constructive feedback when necessary. I would like to work in the music
industry as a UI/UX Designer, particularly in music streaming applications such as Spotify.
