My Design Values

My Design Values

Design for both users and the business

Human centered design is a given, one thing I also keep in mind is that my colleagues and stakeholders’ needs are equally important.

Design is a team sport

I think of feedback from users and collaborators as invaluable tools that can improve designs.

Have a growth mindset

Design podcasts, user research, best practices, case studies. There’s always room to grow and learn.

Testimonials

“I have had the pleasure of working with Ana for the last two and a half years at CaaStle, where she has been a key contributor across our portfolio of product initiatives. Her collaborative partnerships have been successful both vertically and laterally, from senior leadership and stakeholders, to cross functional teams and colleagues, across five time zones.

Ana shows up every day, on every call, fully focused, prepared to listen, to learn, and always, to over-deliver. I can say from personal experience that her record of success has come from putting others first, while still finding ways to add valuable insights of her own. Whether from comprehensive understanding of our design system, expertise in Figma (and incredible turn around times), proactive research, or a systematic approach to reporting and presentation, Ana has built trusted relationships with virtually every partner our design group serves.

I am proud to have worked beside her, benefited from her many wins, and am excited to follow her evolving professional story. I expect great things from her. If you have the good fortune to work with her, you should too.”

Senior Director of Design at CaaStle

“I’ve had the absolute privilege and pleasure of working with Ana! She’s a thorough problem solver, using the best of her analytic and design abilities to put forth viable solutions. And she’s quick with it too! You better believe before your conversation ends, she most likely already has a file with a couple of options wireframed to discuss.

Ana has an incredible attention to detail that shows in all of her work, not exclusive to her designs. She’s an exceptional communicator and is able to convey her thought comprehensively yet succinctly. Any presentation from Ana is a display of her well organized thought process.

Her biggest strength is her advocacy for the user. If you want to work with someone to create a delightful user experience, Ana’s your person.”
