About me
Hi, I'm Angela
A passionate Colombian designer residing in Dubai, UAE, with over 12 years of experience dedicated to problem-solving and crafting exceptional digital products and experiences.
Design, for me, permeates every aspect of our thoughts and actions, and I continuously generate ideas to contribute to problem-solving processes. My love for design extends beyond the profession itself, as I am deeply passionate about everything associated with it.
My true passion lies in creating digital products and comprehending how users perceive the world and interact with new interfaces or services. Gaining insights into user behavior is instrumental in crafting outstanding digital pieces with real-world applications that stand the test of time.
Fun fact: Everyone calls me Gigi & I have at least 10 glasses frames.
How I work
My Approach to success & Design Philosophy
Bridging connections & empowering solutions
As a designer, I see myself as the vital bridge that connects users with products, products with engineering, and products with business goals. I understand their needs, crafting solutions that benefit everyone without compromising the user experience. The ability to visualize words, ideas, and problems is a gift that allows me to reach agreements and ensure that everyone communicates effectively.
Throughout the design process, I believe every step is indispensable, comprehending the "why" from various perspectives, guiding ideation, and adapting based on feedback. I propose feasible, user-friendly, and delightful solutions for the short, medium, and long term. Collaborating closely with engineering teams, I ensure seamless integration of design and functionality. Even after implementation, my work doesn't end. I continuously measure the impact of my solutions to validate their effectiveness and iterate for further improvements.
This design philosophy serves as my guiding compass, inspiring me to deliver successful and gratifying products that meet the needs of all stakeholders involved. I am committed to upholding these principles in every project, leaving a lasting impression on users and achieving meaningful results for businesses.
