Hello! ☺️ I'm Vicky, a ______ Designer. And this is my vision: I believe in Design as a problem-solving process: first I learn about the problem so I can generate bold ideas, test them, and iterate until they work — until they're great. And I can apply this approach to any challenge I face. ✅ So fill the blank above with your need: UX, UI, visual — you name it. I'll bring 20 years of design experience and vision to answer your request efficiently, creating awesome outcomes. 😉 --------------- EXPERTISE • UX / UI / IX Design • Research • Design system • Information architecture • Design thinking • Innovation SKILLS • Creativity • Versatility • Resilience • Attention to detail • Empathy • Proactivity • Teamwork • Leadership --------------- A BIT MORE ABOUT ME: I'm a Brazilian/Spanish smiley and dancing coffee lover, @Barcelona for the past 15 years. ☺️ Communication and empathy are some of my strong features. Moreover, I always keep a broad perspective of things, which helps me being more assertive and complements well my attention to detail. I’m committed to my work; to me every challenge is important. All that allows me to be a bridge that connects research and Ul, taking the user with me while building "their" products, and deliver something they can be excited about. And well, if in this process I can also have and provide a little fun (or a lot 😎), even better! That's the real goal after all: to make the best of this journey, with lightness and purpose, always full of faith and kindness to share along the way. ☺️🙌🏻✨

Masters degree at ELISAVA
October 3, 2011 - September 1, 2012
Master in Innovation (Coolhunting and Design Thinking) During the entire master our group worked with telephone/mobile companies, first with Orange and then with Telefónica. Our innovation idea was to get a telecom to be a Lovebrand. For accomplishing this, we searched for trends related to lovebrands and to phone/mobile/internet use and services. We interviewed people on the street and on focus groups, observed people behaviors, researched and compared our results with other trends of that time. Through all that we got enough information to generate new ideas and innovation insights. That's where we came up with what we called the "Inspirational Notebook", a magazine we created to present all the process we went through and the results, trends, insights and ideas we got from it. Our clients loved it! Orange even started a campaign now between 2016/2017 based on the Lovebrand idea with the slogan "All you need is LOVE".
