Profile Picture

Hi, I’m Gabrielle. I’m a hybrid Product Designer and UI/UX Designer with over 10 years of international experience, and a background in teaching and digital marketing. My approach to design is practical, people-focused, and shaped by working across different cultures and industries.

I create user-centered digital products that are clear, accessible, and aligned with business goals. My work spans the full design process—from research and wireframes to high-fidelity UI and developer handoff—and I also bring front-end knowledge that helps bridge the gap between design and implementation.

I speak multiple languages and have lived and worked across several countries, which gives me a strong sensitivity to diverse user needs and communication styles. I’m comfortable in fast-paced, collaborative environments and enjoy contributing to projects that require both detail-oriented design and strategic thinking.

Inspired by my web development bootcamp - which sparked my curiosity about how design and functionality shape intuitive user experiences - I dove deep into UX at Ironhack’s 400+ hour bootcamp, gaining hands-on experience in UX research, prototyping, and UI design. I worked on collaborative projects to create seamless, user-centered interfaces from concept to final design.
