Hi, I'm Camila!

A recent graduate from the University of Michigan's School of Information, where I studied UX Design and Research. But my path to design didn't start there — it started with a love of words and storytelling, paired with an early interest in graphic design. What makes a book or an app impossible to close? That question carried me into design almost accidentally.

As an English major, I was drawn to the challenge of shaping language within visual systems, too. This led me to pursue a master's in User Experience, with a focus on visual graphics — bridging design and words.

I live in Figma comments.

I like to join customer calls, even if I'm just an observer.

I love brainstorming with others.

I need lots of snacks to fuel up.

And of course, designing, writing, and illustrating. My goal is to write and illustrate several children's books!
