Hello there! I am Sofi
Passionate Web developer and UX/UI designer with a unique background in architecture and five years of experience crafting user-centered spaces. Recently graduated from Ironhack's full-stack web development bootcamp. My goal is to create intuitive, efficient, and responsive front-end solutions that simplify and enhance everyday life.
I believe great user experience emerges at the intersection of functionality, simplicity, and style. My experience as an architect in Paraguay taught me to think big-picture first, collaborating with clients, teams, and suppliers to harmonize diverse needs and perspectives—skills that seamlessly translate to UX/UI and web development. Equipped with a Master's in UX/UI from ESDI (Barcelona) and a deep desire to solve problems, I'm ready to design and implement digital solutions that are not only beautiful but also functional and user-centered.
I am now looking for opportunities to utilize and develop my current knowledge and experiences, whilst providing customers with beautifully functional, simple & stylish online solutions.
