About me
My name is Manuela, but you can call me Manu. I'm a passionate UX/UI designer dedicated to creating meaningful digital experiences. With a post-graduate degree in User Experience and honors in Graphic Design, I bring a solid foundation in UX/UI principles and creative visual design. Over the past seven years, I've focused on crafting creative and intuitive solutions that exceed user expectations. I enjoy working in collaborative environments and seek user feedback through interviews and UX techniques to justify my design decisions.
