Hi, I’m Ingrid Valdera Urday, a Senior Product Designer with over 7 years in IT, focusing on UX research, usability testing, and delivering innovative digital experiences. I love blending strategic design thinking with creative visuals to meet and exceed user expectations, while collaborating with designers, product managers, stakeholders, and developers to align on goals and roadmaps. In my approach, I put users at the center, translating research into clear problems and practical solutions. I’ve shipped SaaS and B2B/B2C products across industries like insurance and finance, and I’m proficient with a broad toolkit (from wireframes and prototyping to Figma, Jira, and analytics) to drive impact and measurable results.
