Iโm Daphne !
I have a background in Industrial Design and I've found my niche in the digital realm, specializing in crafting seamless user experiences. My passion lies in the intersection of humanity and technology, constantly exploring ways to make digital interactions more intuitive, meaningful, and inclusive.
Driven by a desire to make a difference, I'm on a mission to infuse Latin American perspectives into the tech industry. By joining design teams, I aim to advocate for diverse voices and ensure that products and services reflect the rich cultural tapestry of our region.
When I'm not immersed in pixels and prototypes, you'll likely find me exploring new destinations, (attempting to) glide gracefully on ice skates, or vibing to Taylor Swift's music.
So, whether we're discussing design strategies or swapping travel stories, I'm always up for a chat.
I joined a design consultancy to lead a 10-person design team in developing a project. While the project primarily focused on industrial design, it provided me with a valuable opportunity to apply and enhance my leadership skills, as well as learn new soft skills essential for project management.
When I engaged in hackathons, I connected with a web 3 startup founder and stressed the significance of user research. Subsequently, I spent several months with the startup team, conducting initial user research to refine their MVP for VC pitches.
I partnered to craft a design strategy aimed at introducing a novel service to the platform, tailored to address specific needs in Mexico City and appeal to a new consumer demographic. This marked a significant milestone as the Mexican design team from DiDi proposed a new product to the headquarters' design offices in China for the first time.
I became part of a women's community dedicated to bringing more women into the web 3 ecosystem. This journey led me to participate in hackathons across Mexico City, Bogotรก, and San Francisco. There, I collaborated with passionate creators to develop a range of digital products harnessing blockchain technology.
These are some of the things my mind is currently at. Feel free to share your suggestions โ I'm all ears!
