About Me
Hi, I’m Valeria!
I'm a UX Researcher and Data Scientist passionate about designing with purpose, guided by empathy and driven by data. With a background in Innovation & Design Engineering, I specialize in uncovering user needs through both qualitative insights and quantitative analysis.
I’ve conducted user interviews, field studies, and usability testing, and I know how to turn behavioral data into actionable design strategies. My training in data science allows me to dig deeper into patterns, test hypotheses, and support user-centered design with evidence.
I’m deeply curious, quick to learn, and thrive in multidisciplinary teams. I believe the best solutions come from listening first—and validating always.
Featured Projects
Each project reflects my passion for blending creativity with functionality. I approach every design challenge with a user-first mindset, focusing on intuitive navigation, engaging visuals, and seamless interactions. From research to prototyping, I ensure that every detail enhances the user experience and aligns with the project’s goals.
Note: The projects presented in this portfolio were developed in an academic setting. While they demonstrate my research and design process, some of the data, impact metrics, and results are projections based on user research and tested assumptions, not real-world deployment.
