I'm Denise,
nice to meet you.
As a seasoned veterinary nurse with a career pivot to UX/UI design, I bring a unique combination of empathy, attention to detail, and design expertise to my work. My focus on creating usable, enjoyable, and accessible digital products has resulted in a passion for UX design that drives me to continuously expand my knowledge and stay on the cutting edge of new technologies.
Whether collaborating with cross-functional teams or working independently, I am dedicated to delivering high-quality digital experiences that meet the needs of diverse users.
How I got started in UX design
As a lifelong enthusiast of technology and IT, I was eager to pursue a career in this field. Unfortunately, limited opportunities for women in technology often stood in my way. So, I turned my focus to the field of veterinary care, where I found joy in caring for pets.
The COVID-19 pandemic provided me with a rare opportunity to deepen my knowledge of design and marketing through independent study. By the beginning of 2022, I was ready to take the next step and enrolled in a design bootcamp, eager to launch my career in UX design.
What I love about being a UX designer is the ability to use both my creative and analytical skills to create digital products that enhance people's daily lives. By combining my passion for technology with my natural abilities, I am able to create designs that are both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. I am excited to continue learning and growing in this field, and to bring my unique background and skillset to projects that make a positive impact on people's lives.
What I've been working on
I have gained a wealth of experience by working independently or as part of a small team on projects for a range of clients, including small businesses and vibrant start-ups. My goal has been to assist each client in defining their products and charting their future success.
These experiences have provided me with exciting daily challenges that have allowed me to enhance my skills and expand my knowledge.
Presently, I am interning as a UX/UI designer at Clooper, a dynamic and rapidly growing start-up. I am thoroughly enjoying my time on the design team, as it has been an incredible experience so far. Being part of a talented design team has allowed me to continue to grow as a designer, and I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to work on meaningful projects that are helping to shape the future of this dynamic company.
A little bit more about me
I am originally from Italy and I fluently speak both Italian and English. I have always been passionate about languages, and I aim to learn a new one by the end of 2023: any suggestions? :)
Before moving to London in 2016, I had my fair part of adventure, and I worked and lived in Italy, Germany and the U.S.A., where I was able to also study German and English
I have always had an artistic eye, and in my free time I like to paint and be creative! I also enjoy trekking and hiking, reading and spending time in the nature.
