Hello! I'm Valeria, a Senior Product Designer at Indeed.com, with an MFA in Interactive Design from Savannah College of Art and Design. I specialize in creating intuitive and impactful digital experiences.
I employ a range of methods like detailed user research, persona development, and journey mapping to gain profound insights into user needs. To refine user experience, I prioritize usability and A/B testing, ensuring continuous improvement. Iterative prototyping is central to my design process, allowing me to make decisions that are directly informed by user feedback.
I adeptly utilize Figma's latest features, including Dev Mode for developer collaboration and the Visual Studio Code plugin for streamlined workflows. Variables enhance my design system management, while advanced prototyping and Auto Layout V5 boost the quality and responsiveness of my designs. This combination of tools and skills ensures efficiency and high-quality outcomes in my projects.
I align my designs with our business goals, focusing on solving key challenges and enhancing product functionality and appeal. My approach includes using data analysis and market trends to inform strategies, ensuring our designs are innovative and resonate with the target audience.
In promoting teamwork and clear communication, I use visual aids and prototypes to convey design concepts to diverse teams. Regular feedback sessions and adapting to various communication styles ensure alignment with engineers, product managers, and executives. This approach fosters a cohesive and efficient design process.
Hello, I'm Valeria, a Senior Product Designer based in Austin, TX, with over eight years of experience in crafting design solutions for diverse products. My expertise spans ensuring cohesive design, mentoring junior designers, liaising with external stakeholders, and promoting best practices.
My journey began in advertising, following the completion of my Advertising degree at the University of Texas at Austin. I've contributed to numerous campaigns, specializing in art direction, visual design, and branding. As I pursued an MFA at the Savannah College of Art & Design, my skill set expanded to encompass design thinking, user research, UI/UX, and the creation of high-fidelity prototypes and comprehensives for developers.
I've had the privilege of working with the seller side of Dell Technologies, where I collaborated with my team to enhance the internal quoting tool, a complex endeavor that demanded deep user understanding and historical product insights.
Presently, I'm part of the Indeed.com team, dedicated to strategizing, designing, and implementing improvements for an internal tool that addresses email visibility challenges within Indeed. Our aim is to shape a comprehensive email strategy for job seekers and employers, ultimately facilitating job placements.
My passion lies in bridging meaningful connections between people and technology, grounded in a user-centric design approach. If you're interested in collaborating, please feel free to reach out. I'm always eager to connect and chat!
