Gisela Margarito

UX Designer / Product Owner

Hey there! My name is Gisela, I'm a user experience designer. I design digital tools to help people in their every day activities like: communicating, working, shopping, planning, traveling or simply having fun.

Initially I studied graphic design and I love arts and illustration, but I'm also passionate for technology so I’ve been working on digital media for some years now, first as a web designer, later on as a digital communication strategist. I like to see design as the process of making the right decisions to create things that people will want in their lives.

As part of my practical abilities I can make user flow diagrams, wireframes, HTML prototypes, code my own CSS or use libraries and frameworks.
