My journey began in graphic design, evolving from a junior to a senior role before fully transitioning into product design. Throughout my career, I’ve developed strong expertise in Figma, UX/UI design, and user research. I thrive in collaborative environments, having worked closely with multi-disciplinary teams, including developers and audiovisual experts, to create digital solutions such as applications, dashboards, and intranets. My strengths lie in my adaptability, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for crafting intuitive and impactful user experiences. **Question: Now I want to know a little more about your past work experiences.** *Answer:* Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a range of projects that have helped me grow as a designer. One of the most significant projects I worked on was an interactive web application for English learning aimed at Colombian public schools. This project involved collaborating with educators to create engaging and dynamic activities for students from kindergarten to grade 11. Later on, I worked on a crowdfunding platform for non-profits, where I was tasked with redesigning the user interface and improving the user experience to better connect contributors with those in need. I also contributed to a social network for music lovers, which allows fans to interact with their favorite artists and earn from their talents. This experience gave me a great understanding of working with developers and managing the balance between new and old design systems. **Question: Why do you want to work in this company? Why should we hire you?** *Answer:* I am highly motivated to join FullStack because of your reputation for creating transformative digital solutions and the collaborative, employee-first culture you uphold. I admire how the company helps high-impact organizations scale their software development teams and deliver value to their clients. I believe my experience in collaborating with cross-functional teams and managing end-to-end design processes aligns well with your approach. As someone who thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments, I would love the opportunity to contribute to FullStack’s mission by using my skills in user research, Figma, and design systems to create scalable, user-friendly products that exceed client expectations. **Question: What are your skills and competencies?** *Answer:* My core skills include UX/UI design, user research, and a thorough command of Figma and design systems. I am also highly skilled in information architecture and interaction design, which enables me to create cohesive and functional user interfaces. Beyond technical skills, I excel in communication and teamwork, which are essential for collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams. I am proactive in staying updated on industry trends, regularly attending conferences and exploring new tools to ensure my skills remain relevant. Additionally, my adaptability and empathy allow me to deliver solutions that genuinely address user needs. **Question: And what do you consider are your strengths?** *Answer:* One of my main strengths is my ability to quickly adapt to new challenges and work effectively in dynamic environments. I am detail-oriented and excel at balancing big-picture thinking with meticulous execution, ensuring that my projects not only meet high design standards but also deliver tangible results. Additionally, I’m highly motivated to continuously improve my skills and stay ahead of industry trends, which helps me bring fresh, innovative ideas to the table. **Question: And finally, what are your weaknesses?** *Answer:* I tend to be highly analytical, which sometimes leads me to focus more on objective problem-solving than on interpersonal dynamics. To work on this, I’ve been improving my emotional intelligence by taking courses and practicing active listening, so I can better balance the technical and human aspects of my work. ✨

Excellence class, I have been loving the course so much!
