A month ago

Hi there! I'm Julianna, a designer from Puerto Rico, based in New York. I've been in web design for over six years, with the last three focused on UX/UI. For the past seven years, I've been freelancing remotely, working with agencies and companies across the US. Lately, I've been working on web design projects handling redesigns, updates, and UX enhancements for e-commerce clients and mobile apps. I've worked with clients in various industries, including wellness, fashion, consumer goods, women-owned businesses, tech, and startups. Before this, I worked as a social media manager and digital consultant, helping brands and local businesses build their online presence through organic and paid campaigns, web design, SEO, and social media strategies. My background helps me understand and balance user needs and business goals. I'm always curious and love learning new skills and technologies. I may not always have all the answers, but I'm more than willing to figure things out.When I'm not designing, you can find me indulging in my love for analog photography, music, and travel. Let's work together and bring your product vision to life!
