Hello! My name is Fiorella, but most people call me Fio.
I'm a San Diego-based Designer.
Design is my passion. I am an experienced UX/UI Visual Designer and Front-End Developer, from print to screen. My time working with a company with several brands and clients, plus my time as an editorial designer has helped me to produce User Flows, User-Friendly Sites, Marketing Landing Pages and Front-End Developing in general in a quick turnaround environment and always will aim to overpass expectations. User Research, Analytics, Personas, Visual Design are my forte, no matter for what medium. I can collaborate by organizing content into hierarchical systems that will not only make the project visually pleasing but most important will communicate effectively.
I think all good design helps, no matter how small we may believe our contribution to society may be, if aids to everyday people's lives, will be already a huge advance, Fio
ABOUT ME:
As a designer, my job and pride are to find ways in most cases visually to communicate ideas or even better ideals. To do so, as a designer I’m always evolving along with new studies, techniques, and technology. I’m always interested in projects where I could be challenged and have space to grow in my craft. I studied Web Design & New Media at the Academy of Art University, in San Francisco, as well as Reprographics/Pre-Press in San Diego, California.
Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have, Fio
