HOLA! I’m Paola

Human Experience Designer

I’ve been on exploration mode these past several years being open to trying new things in the search of aligning all my interests. While this journey has been uncertain, it’s clear I want to create engaging experiences that will inspire others to make, create or build something.

My Story

I’m a native NYC designer, who likes to try out things: traveling, the outdoor, continuously learn more on design and marketing disciplines, to learning about humans and their tendencies. Im pretty open about many things but not so much with food…

My path started in graphic design doing print/design work for 8 years, then transitioning into education as an english teacher abroad during COVID, to returning to the states delving into a variation of UX/UI. I’ve also contributed to copywriting, light video editing, and lettering - The act of trying without expecting perfection is something im still working on, but if the interest is there i give it my best shot.

I’m currently a part-time Youth development professional (YDP) trying to understand little humans and how to best serve them with interesting activities and homework help. The struggle has been real and my story arc may seem swiggly, but its been in the sake of growth and seeking alignment of my interests - what i believe im good at, the things i care about, and combining these with where the world is heading.
