Hi, i'm Catalina

I’m Catalina, a product designer and artist studying UX Design at UC San Diego. I’m drawn to work that turns complicated systems into intuitive, thoughtful experiences.
My path has moved through software development, product management, graphic design, and research. That cross-disciplinary lens helps me balance people’s needs, business goals, and the technical details that make an idea real.
When I’m designing, I’m asking questions, exploring directions, and working closely with the people who will bring an experience to life. The goal is always the same: make something useful feel genuinely good to use.
