About Me
Hi, I’m Cristina!
A UX designer originally from London, now calling Barcelona home. I have the great privilege to belong to various cultures, since I am half English and half Argentinian, but chose Barcelona as my place to be.
I’m pivoting into UX from an audiovisual and CRM ops background, where I’ve led cross-department processes and learned how real users and teams interact with systems.
Whilst working closely with a UX designer on several projects, I became curious about UX. After several coffees picking his brains, I was totally fascinated. We discussed UX design and writing and I learned a lot from the experience.
I started with a short UX writing course, but soon realised that I wanted to go deeper into UX/UI design. That led me to a full UX design diploma, where I discovered a particular interest in Accessibility. Having experienced small and temporary challenges myself, my curiosity was piqued in how different people experience products. That curiosity has grown into a passion: I’m now studying the Accessibility Certificate at the UX Design Institute. And because I can’t resist a challenge, I’m also working through their UI design course in whatever spare study time I can find.
Outside of work, I enjoy pilates, baking, travelling, photography and family time. I enjoy learning about different cultures, especially through cuisine.
