A little about me
Having worked in different industries has given me the practical understanding that a successful business needs more than just a design that looks good.
A successful business needs design to work in tandem with business needs to create real, measurable value that will firstly benefit the users which, in turn, translates into value for the business.
Having started my own business has also helped me acquire other knowledge and skills needed for a successful business, such as Marketing and Consumer behaviour, Facebook ads, SEO, web design (WordPress) and resilience, among others.
This experience, added to the knowledge obtained through the years, has allowed me to have a well rounded understanding of the complete business cycle: from business needs to product development, to implementation and evaluation.
In my latest position i have reported directly to the General Manager, providing feedback of market needs and recommendations, mentored junior staff to improve their skills and help them progress in their careers, as well as having worked collaboratively with other departments to achieve company goals.
And lastly, I am curious, always wanting to learn more, reliable and capable of strategizing, implementing and measuring projects with minimal oversight. I am also detail orientated while being able to step back and see the big picture.
