Nice to meet you

Hola! My name is Jesica ✌🏻

I'm a Visual & Product Designer who is always looking for new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow. Over the past years, I’ve cultivated my skills as a designer helping teams solve challenging problems and craft beautiful experiences with empathy and real value. I want to turn ideas into reality and make an impact in the world by trying to bridge the gap between users and their goals. The biggest influences of my values and work are my mix of cultures and my love for travelling to learn about various countries and their cultures as it helps me get a better sense of how other parts of the world think and behave.

Worked as a Visual Designer for 5+ years in the healthcare industry helping create products for the prevention and monitoring of skin cancer. Now, I'm an UX Designer working with a high-tech and impact driven program transforming the mining industry by continuously improving health and safety, sustainability and productivity. In addition, I'm a Global Community Advocate at ADPList, an organization and global community with the mission to democratize mentorships for all.

Oh! I also speak Spanish and Mandarin (and a bit of Taiwanese).

Education

My passion for design developed since I was young, as I found myself always doodling and crafting. Later on, my interests took me to the School of Interactive Arts & Technology (SIAT) at Simon Fraser University, where I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Interactive Arts & Technology with double specialties - Design and Media Arts. During my bachelor’s, I built a solid foundation in graphic design, visual design, interaction design, interface design, web design & development, speculative design, design evaluation, and more. A few years later, I decided to complete an UX Design Certificate and UI Design Certificate at Branstation to strengthen my user experience and user interface knowledge.

Outside of Design

When I'm not designing, I enjoy trying new things and seeking new experiences. Aside from that, I enjoy watching movies, building 3D/metal puzzles, savouring or thinking about food/snacks/desserts, catching up and hanging out with people I love, and travelling whenever I can. Growing up between Argentinian steak, Mexican tacos, and Taiwanese street food, and Canadian poutine, I have to admit that I'm a food and dessert lover 😍

Let's Chat

I'm currently looking for employment opportunities and always open to new project collaboration. If you have a project in mind or want to chat about design, technology, or food - get in touch! I love meeting new people, don't be shy 👋
