My journey
During my university years, I immersed myself in Industrial Design, complemented by studies in Graphic Design and languages (English, Portuguese, and Italian). This multidisciplinary approach has shaped my perspective, allowing me to see design challenges from multiple angles.
My transition to UX/UI began in 2017, inspired by a programmer friend. I quickly embraced new tools and methodologies, taking on projects that honed my skills in user research, usability testing, and design systems.
As a former Teaching Assistant at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, I discovered my passion for mentoring and helping others unlock the power of design thinking to create impactful solutions.
Work
I’ve collaborated with global companies such as Cognizant-Softvision, Andela, and the boutique agency Indicius, delivering strategic design solutions across industries like education, healthcare, and finance. Currently, at Laureate University, I’m leading the UX efforts for ChatBuilder, a generative AI platform empowering universities to enhance student experiences.
About Design Thinking
Design Thinking, much like artistry or professionalism, is not defined solely by tools. It demands a deeper grasp of the process and the insights gained through practice. The misconception that using frameworks or tools alone creates value overlooks the essence of Design Thinking.
David M. Kelley, from IDEO and Stanford University, introduced the term “Design Thinking” to emphasize that it involves more than just aesthetics. By adding “Thinking” to “Design,” he aimed to shift client perceptions away from seeing design as merely superficial. Kelley wanted to convey the complexity and holistic nature of the design process—how industrial designers integrate numerous decisions into cohesive solutions while continuously testing and iterating to refine their work.
The Design Thinking process involves phases of divergence and convergence and is not linear. It iterates and adapts, functioning as a fractal that applies across different scales within a broader process.
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, adopting Design Thinking is essential for businesses to remain relevant and competitive.
