I am Carolina,
User Interface designer
I'm motivated by design and technology with a keen interest in Design system and components optimisation. Creating great digital experiences for all kinds of users is my aim, but ultimately, my biggest motivation is to design products that my mum can use without having to call anyone.
Design systems architecture defining & managing design tokens and variables
Cross-platform consistency for responsive web, mobile apps, touchscreens
Component optimisation
and scalability
Work Experience
I've helped organisations like Dunelm, Tesco, Lloyds and BBC create cohesive user experiences through pixel perfect UI and strategic design systems that improve both user experience and development efficiency.
Components Library
I have deep expertise in Figma, with proven ability to build sophisticated components using variants and auto-layout optimising web UI components, making them fully responsive and editable via the control panel.
Design System Leadership & Process
I excel at guiding design components and patterns through their complete lifecycle, from initial concept and design exploration to comprehensive documentation and final implementation, working seamlessly within cross-functional teams.
I continuously identify and pursue opportunities to streamline design system processes to maintain quality and consistency.
Collaboration & Technical Understanding
My approach centres on building strong partnerships with platform teams and engineering colleagues, ensuring I have a thorough grasp of technical requirements and constraints that inform design decisions.
I understand the unique challenges faced by developers, UX designers, and copy writers working across distributed teams, allowing me to bridge communication gaps and foster effective collaboration.
User-Centered Design & Accessibility
I actively contribute to product design critiques, bringing perspectives on user experience, brand alignment, and accessibility principles to ensure our products are for everyone.
I bring comprehensive knowledge of digital accessibility standards, with solid understanding of WCAG 2.1 guidelines and awareness of evolving accessibility requirements and best practices.
Other Interest
When I’m not doing digital work I like to get my hands dirty and play with clay.
Ceramics is a passion I discover during lockdown. I absolutely love it.
There is a connection between designing for a screen and designing a physical object. They both involve brainstorming, ideating and creating prototypes before the final piece is that ...final.
