I'm Denisse, a UX designer who grew up as an illustrator and graphic designer. With design, I want to cut through the complexity of today’s infrastructure, especially where language and education gaps keep people from getting the help they need. If I can make it engaging along the way, even better. I’m especially passionate about public health and urban planning. Ask me about the lack of shade in Los Angeles, and I’ll talk your ear off.

I studied Design at the University of Southern California (2025), while taking up other courses in animation, UX, and screenwriting. My other stints include carpentry, building sets for the university's theatre productions, and being an editor for a morning show.

Outside of design, I teach kids from 4 months old to 12 years old how to swim — also ask me how this helps me with UX.

Now Chicago-based.
