Coffee Shop UX Research/Design

In this project, I applied the Design Thinking approach, starting with Qualitative and Quantitative Research to define User Personas and identify pain points. We used a User Journey Map to ideate solutions, followed by creating a Wireframe and Prototype in Figma. I then developed the website using React, and we conducted Usability Testing to refine the design based on user feedback.

My Education

My journey into UX was unconventional—it felt backwards, or as I like to say, "I was reverse engineering it." I began studying networking and telecommunications at Galileo University but was more drawn to web development. This led me to learn full-stack development with Ruby on Rails and explore React, bridging design and development. My passion for user-centered experiences grew, and I earned the Google UX Design Professional Certificate. Now, as I pursue my MSc in Computer Science, I'm combining my technical and design skills to push my work further.

Bachelor in Telecommunications (3rd year drop-out)
