About me

Hi, I‘m Vicente González

UX/UI designer & Frontend dev

I‘m a product designer with over twelve years experience as UX/UI designer & frontend dev, conceptualizing and crafting digital products, helping businesses and non-profits expand their capacity for impacting on the digital world.

My core skills lie in the intersection of design and technology, which means that I’m skilled in designing digital experiences with an interactive and data-driven approach, but I’m also comfortable communicating with the development team to solve more technical problems.

I enjoy working on projects that have a positive impact on the surrounding society and the environment, in addition to the business in question. On a team level, I strive to work with individuals who have different backgrounds and different cultures, because I genuinely believe that diverse teams produce the best results.

If you have a great idea to develop and you think that I would be a great fit to your team as a freelance consultant UI/UX designer, feel free to contact me or LinkedIn, and let’s talk about it!

Or, if you’re a fellow designer or developer, let’s connect on. I’m always looking for talented people to work on projects together and to share knowledge related to design.

I believe in

"Good design is intuitive, accessible, and simple, creating an immediate connection between the product and the user..."
