Hi there! My name is Carolina. With over nine years of experience as a UX/UI consultant, I’ve been able to provide exceptional design solutions for a wide range of digital projects across a variety of industries, including education, business corporations, nonprofits, security, and finance. My portfolio boasts a wide range of projects including web and mobile apps, platforms, e-commerce sites, and corporate websites. I enjoy taking on unique design challenges and finding innovative solutions that meet both user needs and business goals.
But that’s not all! In addition to being a designer, I am also a skilled project manager and effective communicator. I love making sure that all of my projects are completed within the designated timeline and budgetary constraints. I take pride in establishing clear and effective dialogues with my clients and stakeholders, and I’m always keeping an eye on the details to ensure high-quality outcomes. Thanks to this approach, I have a great track record of happy clients and successful projects.
