VANESSA JIMÉNEZ
WORK EXPERIENCE
SENIOR DESIGNER
I'm a woman with a really profound passion about design in all its ways of expression. I'm a really happy, and charismatic person, and I almost never get angry (except when in comes to injustice towards someone)
-or when someone eats my food-
I'm convinced that my purpose in life is to bring joy to my surroundings - even if that sounds corny-, It’s the only way to find harmony and balance - and also I always to try to do my best at everything I do. Designer for more than 9 years wearing different hats. I've gone through Marketing & Advertising, Graphic Design, Visual Design (UI), and Experience Design (UX). And through- out
this journey, I have also been Workshop facilitator, Keynote speaker, and Project Owner (being the bridge between clients, developers and designers), and Team Lead (mentoring, leading, and helping other designers grow). I'm knowledgeable about innovation methodologies like Design Thinking, Scrum, and Agile Design, and I believe all these processes and methods have been build to be challenged and refined to focus on helping create meaningful digital products and services that transcend aesthetics.
