Who I am
My name is Estefania, although everyone calls me Stefi. I was borned in the sunny Barcelona and I've been studying and working in many different countries during the past 8 years, and I am currently living in Paris, France. People that know me also know that I am naturally empathetic and curious.
I am also a nature lover who really believes that our individual actions make an impact, so I try to be as respectful with nature as possible in everything I can, including in design.
You won't be surprised to find me practicing outdoor sports like climbing, hiking or gardening during my free time, but there is nothing like sitting with a cup of coffee and a good book 📚 😃
My Experience
I am a former translator turned into UX Researcher. I studied a double B.A major in English and French History, Literature and Culture in Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona before starting my career working as an English-Spanish translator specialized in tech-related projects, in which I had the possibility to be in contact with diverse quality levels of design.
Now, it's been 3 years I am working as a UX Researcher, and my job is to help improve products and services from a user-centric perspective.
I can help defining a strategy and put in place exploratory and evaluative methods depending on the final objectives. I am specialized in qualitative methodologies, such as field studies, user interviews, usability tests, diary studies... But I can also put in place quantitative approaches when needed.
My experience as a UX consultant also made me good at becoming resilient, committed and very adaptable. I've become skilled at balancing out team objectives & user needs.
