HOLA! I’m Paola

Human Experience Designer

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

My Story

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

My path started in graphic design doing print work for 8 years, then transitioning into education as an English teacher abroad, before returning to the states and delving into some UX/UI. I've also contributed to copywriting, light video editing, and lettering — the bar I hold myself to doesn't always make it easy, 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 engaging activities and homework help. The struggle has been real, and my story arc may seem squiggly — but it's all been in the name of growth and seeking alignment: what I believe I'm good at, being open to new experiences, the things I care about — education and inspiring creation — and combining these with where the world is heading.
