Hey there! I'm Ariel

đź“š UX | UI Designer, Product Designer
🎓 Universidad Católica Boliviana, La Paz - Bolivia
🎨 Movies | Design | Tech

As a Systems Engineering, I have developed a strong foundation in technical and analytical skills. However, my true passion lies in the intersection of technology and user experience. That's why I have decided to focus on UX/UI design and bridge the gap between engineering and design, to create intuitive and user-friendly products.

đź“š List of books I enjoyed...

“If you want a great site, you’ve got to test. After you’ve worked on a site for even a few weeks, you can’t see it freshly anymore. You know too much. The only way to find out if it really works is to test it.”
Don’t make me think

by Steve Krug

“The difference between a good designer and a great designer is the ability to not only solve the problem, but also to articulate how the design solves it in a way that is compelling and fosters agreement. If you can do that, you are a great designer.”
Articulating Design Decisions

by Tom Greever

“You never realize the benefits of cross-functional collaboration because the different disciplines are focused on different things. Without that collaboration, you don’t build shared understanding, so you end up relying heavily on documentation and handoffs for communication.”
Lean UX

by Jeff Gothelf & Josh Seiden
