Hi, I’m Gema — a UX Researcher and Human-Centered Design Strategist with a Master’s degree in Interaction Design & Information Architecture, and over 5 years of experience helping create thoughtful, intuitive, and research-driven digital experiences. Whether you're launching a new product, redesigning a service, or simply trying to understand your users better, I help you uncover what people need, why it matters, and how to act on it. What Makes Me Different I bring a unique combination of strategic thinking, mixed-methods research, and process optimization, shaped by my work at Capital One—where I collaborated on 100+ research sessions and cross-functional design initiatives. But more than just methods, I bring empathy and clarity to every engagement. I don’t just deliver data, I translate human behavior into compelling, actionable stories that help teams make confident design and business decisions. Core UX Research Skills Mixed-Methods Research: In-depth interviews, surveys, usability testing (moderated & unmoderated), diary studies, A/B testing, behavioral analysis Strategic Insight Building: Persona development, journey mapping, experience audits, friction point analysis Tool Proficiency: Figma, Miro, UserTesting, Axure, Visio, Adobe CC Research Communication: Synthesizing findings into actionable reports, executive summaries, workshops, and stakeholder presentations Languages: Fluent in English and Spanish (native), ideal for multicultural or Latin American research contexts Project Highlights: Improved digital adoption by 40% in a cross-functional initiative by identifying behavioral blockers and redesigning opt-in flows. Reduced approval time from 2 days to 1 by streamlining internal hiring workflows based on friction point analysis. Led 100+ research sessions, across usability testing, interviews, and surveys, to support product and design decisions at scale. Behavioral Research on Paperless Adoption in Banking (Thesis): Conducted a mixed-methods UX research study exploring behavioral, emotional, and usability-related barriers to paperless statement adoption. Combined literature review, surveys, and semi-structured interviews to surface five key behavioral themes and develop actionable recommendations. Findings informed internal strategy discussions and digital experience enhancements.
