Ricardo TrianaUI Designer
For the past 5 years I have been dedicated to everything related to UI and UX. I started my journey moving from Web Designer to UI designer, and in the last couple of years I made the move to Interaction Designer (A.K.A UX Designer) and it is where I have felt most comfortable working with workshops, user flows, wireframes and validating ideas and products directly with users. I enjoy to the fullest, and I am very interested in everything related to user research and UI design, but my comfort zone is in interaction design. Apart from these 5 years working as a UI/UX designer I have 10+ years working with digital products which have given me enough experience to know which battles should be fought, what sacrifices I must make and learn to identify the different types of people and professionals and the best way to work with them.

As a design lead, I completely transformed the ideation and execution processes of the company. Some of my most important accomplishments were: -Ideation process for custom made products radically changed as wireframing and brainstorming sessions with the client were introduced into the workflow. - Before I was hired there were some QA and performance testing going on. So after I arrived there was a complete U turn regarding product creation processes. - Workflow with developers also changed, before my arrival, there was almost no presence of the designer in the work process. So after I arrived developers introduced to their workflow design tools such as Bootstrap, CSS3, Web typography and so on.

As a design lead, I created, from scratch, all processes to design and develop multi media reportages. My main accomplishments were: - Journalists were very limited when it came to multimedia tools, so after I came in they were able to create and write their stories knowing that they could depend on resources such as custom video intros, video outros, web images, video galleries, micro sites and analytics, and as a consequence of this the final product improved greatly. - Not only that but click through rates increased, recurrent visitors increased, social media campaigns started bringing in more visitors, and in overall, users spent more time on the reportages and they started filling out registration and newsletter forms, so those also indicators started going up. -As far as the relationship with developers and designers, small scale scrum meetings were introduced to help accelerate workflows and to improve working relationships.

As a freelance front end designer, I worked on interfaces for more than 40 different projects in a record time of 12 months. During that period of time, I worked under maximum pressure allowing me to develop myself as a designer, working on 4 and sometimes 5 projects at a time. During this time I drastically improved my knowledge and skills on css, html and jquery.
