Hi, I’m Ana Maria, a UX/UI Designer on a mission to blend creativity, strategy, and empathy into every digital experience I create!
My career journey has been nothing short of a creative evolution - starting with a bachelor’s in History, where I first fell in love with the art of storytelling and understanding the depths of human behaviour. Then came fashion design, where I immersed myself in the visual world and learned how powerful aesthetics can be in shaping our perceptions.
But it didn’t stop there! I first honed my creative skills in fashion design, mastering the art of bringing concepts to life. Then, I dived headfirst into fashion trend forecasting, where intuition and data collided, and I discovered the electrifying rush of predicting what’s next. And now, here I am - combining everything I’ve learned and loved into UX design, where I can create not just beautiful designs but experiences that truly resonate with people.
For almost a decade, I’ve lived in a space where design and human connection intersect - creating visual identities, curating experiences, and exploring the emotions that drive people. But, as with all great creative journeys, I was hungry for more.
I wanted to understand what makes people tick on a deeper level. I wanted to tap into the feelings, frustrations, and desires that shape every interaction.
… And that’s what led me to UX: a world where research, empathy, and creativity come together to create experiences that make an impact, loooong after the first click!
What excites me most about UX is that it’s not just about designing something that looks good. It’s about designing something that feels right, something that speaks to people on an emotional level. Whether it’s designing intuitive interfaces, conducting user research, or bringing strategy to life, my goal is always to craft seamless, thoughtful, and beautiful experiences that make a difference—because design has the power to change the world.
I’m looking to collaborate with teams who understand that great design isn’t just a service but a solution! If you’re seeking a designer who brings heart, creativity, and strategy to the table and is passionate about crafting experiences that leave a lasting impression, count me in!
What drives me to create:
- Deep diving into user research (I live for those "aha" moments!);
- Designing experiences that aren’t just functional, but magnetic;
- Using creativity and intuition to solve problems in unexpected ways;
- Building brands that speak to people’s hearts and minds.
Feel free to explore my portfolio to see how I turn these passions into real, functional designs!
