MY journey
I have been working in international and diverse design areas with and for interesting start-ups 🦄 and large companies (and of course with awesome people ✨) delivering end-to-end products for +4.5 years that have led me to where I am today. My inspiration for becoming a designer was simple - to solve problems and help people.
I graduated with a BSc in Business Administration, which allows me to not only understand user needs but also the business ones in a strategic way. Moreover, before getting into Product Design and Low-code Web Development, I have worked in Service Design (SXD) and User Research (UXR). This experience provided me with the right tools for understanding user needs and gave me a big panorama about how important design is.
Aside from corporate work, I delight in utilizing design as a social innovation tool to create better human experiences through inclusive design. In 2020, I had a first-hand opportunity to run a side project named Pukhi, a social and environmental innovation project born in response to the COVID-19 situation in order to help Peruvian-low income families by giving them a sustainable artisanal refrigerator which works without electricity. For the project and its impact as a Social Leader, I have been awarded as an MIT Innovator Under 35 (MIT IU 35) by MIT Technology Review.
Working at the intersection of Design, Business, Low-code Development, and Social Innovation. I understood and experienced that design is a catalyst for growth; that design brings ideas to life, and that design can have a huge positive impact and transform lives.
It has been an enjoyable journey where learning never ends and where I keep discovering new things and I am very grateful for it.
