Hey there! I’m Pricilla, and I’ve spent the last decade obsessed with one thing: making the web a more beautiful and usable place. If you’re looking for a senior-level pro who lives and breathes high-end UI/UX design but also has the technical chops to build a powerful CMS from the ground up, we’re going to get along great! I’m not just a designer; I’m a creative strategist. With over 10 years of experience, I’ve worked with everything from scrappy startups to established global brands, helping them turn complex ideas into polished, high-converting digital products. I specialize in creating premium user experiences that don’t just look pretty—they actually solve business problems and keep users coming back for more. My Design Superpowers: * Human-Centered UI/UX: I dig deep into the "why" before I start the "how." I handle the heavy lifting—user research, journey mapping, and wireframing—to ensure your product is intuitive and effective. * High-Fidelity Prototyping: I use Figma to build interactive prototypes that look and feel like a finished product, allowing us to test and perfect the experience before a single line of code is written. * Scalable Design Systems: I’m a pro at building comprehensive component libraries. This means your brand stays consistent, professional, and super easy to scale as your business grows. * Creative Direction: I bring a decade of senior-level eye for detail, color theory, and typography to every project. Advanced CMS & Development: * Custom CMS Architecture: I build custom, responsive sites using Webflow, Shopify, and WordPress. I do not do cookie-cutter templates; I build backends that are specifically tailored to your team’s workflow so managing your content is a breeze. * Headless & Modern Tech: For projects that need extra power, I work with Headless CMS solutions like Contentful or Strapi and front-end tools like Tailwind CSS and React to create lightning-fast, future-proof platforms. * SEO & Speed: Every site I build is optimized for performance and search engines right out of the box. My Tech Toolkit: * Design: Figma (Expert), Adobe Creative Suite, Sketch, InVision. * CMS: Webflow, Shopify, WordPress (Custom Themes & Elementor), Contentful, Strapi. * Frontend: HTML5, CSS3/SASS, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, React. I’m a big believer in clear, honest communication and making the design process as stress-free as possible for you. I’m here to be a partner in your success, not just another freelancer. Ready to take your digital presence to the next level? Send me a message, and let’s talk about how we can build something awesome together!
