Hello, I’m Zuriel (zur-rel)

Welcome to my student portfolio!

I’m a UX Designer with a technical background, where I leverage my technical skills and design thinking to create impactful products.

Here’s a little more about me

To me, design is all about perspective—understanding different viewpoints and creating with them in mind. To develop this approach, I chose to major in Computer Science, equipping myself to understand the challenges engineers face and to bridge the gap between creative vision and technical feasibility.

Driven by a commitment to continuous learning, I pursued Google’s UX Design Professional Certificate to build a strong foundation and completed IBM’s Design Thinking certification to deepen my expertise in design thinking.

Through internships, certifications, and experiences such as a Product Management course and a Software Engineering internship, I’ve honed my communication and collaboration skills, enriching my design process and making me a more empathetic and effective team collaborator.

My goal is to become a UX/Product Designer who creates products that balance beauty and functionality, using my skills and experience to positively impact communities both locally and globally. As I progress in my career, I aim to combine my technical background with my design passion to bring those impactful solutions to life.
