UX DESIGNER, ARTIST & MAKER

I'm Sofia—a multidisciplinary designer and maker, passionate about the human experience, and how design and technology can improve it. With interests in user experience design, interface design, and product design, I graduated with a B.S. from the Creative Design and Technology (CTD) Engineering program at CU Boulder in 2022. In 2024, I graduated from the Human-Centered Design (HCD) program at Cornell, where I studied the intersection of psychology and design, and minored in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). As my thesis, I developed a fully functional AI-based self-development tool and tested it with users. As a Hispanic woman with a background in STEM, I am grateful to be a GEM fellow; an amazing opportunity that allowed me to receive graduate education, and to be a UX research intern at Adobe for two years (2022, 2023), designing new features.
