UX/UI Designer passionate about UX/UI with a focus on human-centred approach, research processes and visual design.
I’m a formally educated UX/UI Designer with a Bachelors of Design at Wilfrid Laurier University and currently residing in Toronto. I’m Peruvian-born and Canadian-educated since 2015. I’m one of the founding members and designer of Matchii, a selection tool platform for job hunters and recruiters. Previously, I was a UX Design Intern at Tasteguru based in Toronto, where I learned how to communicate, collaborate with a small team and deliver quality work with stakeholders. Most recently, I was UX Lead at a capstone project working with Workplace Strategies for Mental Health compliments of Canada Life, where my team and I got second place. I have also taken on a few different types of projects, including a cooking app based on smart recommendations, an onboarding to increase engagement, report a problem tool, e-commerce. Outside of work, I love being outdoors where I can exercise, and breathe in new places to keep me creative.
