I started my design journey over 10 years ago by earning a Graphic Design degree in Chile, where I was born and raised. After that, I worked as a Visual Designer for a global social media company in San Francisco, which opened my eyes to human-centered design. A few years later, I moved to the Bay Area and had the opportunity to study Digital Photography and User Experience Design at UC Berkeley Extension.
I have experience in tech startups, SaaS, B2B, and B2C environments, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to develop and design innovative digital products. As a product designer, I translate user needs into intuitive and impactful designs, ensuring seamless user experiences and successful product outcomes.

I'm always seeking new challenges and continuously evolving, both personally and as a designer. I'm passionate about accessibility and projects with a social impact, committed to contributing to environments that prioritize open communication, foster collaboration, and support continuous learning and growth.
I'm an active volunteer at +Más Mujeres en UX Chile (More Women in UX), where I lead a team curating UX content and empowering women in technology. Additionally, I mentor women from diverse backgrounds, seniorities and countries for the organization in LATAM, offering guidance and reinforcing their soft skills. Beyond my career, I'm a photography enthusiast, I enjoy hiking, and knitting.
