I started studying sociology, which I enjoyed, but I felt a void. I craved creativity, and art has always been a passion I wanted to bring into my professional life. So, I made a last-minute shift to front-end design, combining my love for art with the challenges of computer science.
Now reflecting, I realize UI/UX perfectly merges my love for design and people. It’s about more than just aesthetics—it's an ongoing exploration of user engagement, driven by research and feedback. I pay careful attention to how information is conveyed, ensuring it’s clear and accessible. I even focus on tone and wording, recognizing that design can elevate the experience. I've often thought issues were user errors, but the responsibility lies with those who design the experience. For example, on my HCI website, I added a step-by-step guide on the homepage to clarify its purpose.
My style blends vibrancy with simplicity, where every detail is thoughtfully considered and strategically planned. Throughout the process, I aim to ask questions that challenge the approach and spark fresh ideas.
I’ve found that my style is rooted in experiences, emotions, and most significantly, music. Music serves as an inspiration and a guide in shaping my creative perspective. It helps me visualize in a vivid way and get a feel for things. I see parallels between UI/UX and music with the intersectionality of emotion and sound. For me it’s present when I listen to the eclectic funk of Solange’s “Don’t Let Me Down” to the intimacy of Facundo Cabral’s “No soy de aqui, ni soy de alla.”
