HELLO, I’M GLORIA
Before becoming a Product Designer, I was first a teacher and world traveler. I am passionate about discovering and meeting user needs with digital product solutions. I am a fun loving designer who values collaboration and creativity.
FORMER
WORLD TRAVELER
+ TEACHER
My previous career as a teacher required a heart full of compassion, empathizing with different people. I taught locally and internationally for ten years, and traveled to nations in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceania.
CURRENT
PRODUCT DESIGNER
The most fulfilling aspect of being a Product Designer is observing people’s experience, identifying pain points, and providing solutions that make life more simple + efficient. Being an INFP on the MBTI personality test, who is empathetic by nature, makes me a strong asset in User Experience.
WHAT I DO WHEN I’M NOT DESIGNING
Outside of work you can find me exploring new areas, caring for houseplants, lounging at a coffeeshop, taking photos of people, scenery, and everyday things, dabbling in content creation, binge-watching reality shows, and unwinding with sushi or wine.
MORE ABOUT ME
Designer based in Chicago. For ten years, I traveled and lived abroad in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Traveling expands my horizons as I see how big this world is.
