👋 Hi there! Welcome to my website 👩💻
I’m Valeria Quiroga, a bold and passionate UX & Behavioral Designer
with over 7 years of experience transforming ideas into meaningful experiences. My journey has taken me through startups, Milanese design studios, and now into the exciting world of
real estate, fintech, and proptech at Bancolombia.
Design, for me, isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating impact, fostering inclusion, and solving real problems. Whether I’m diving into
Behavioral Design, exploring Gamification, or crafting data-driven strategies,
I love combining creativity, empathy, and innovation to create solutions that truly matter.
💡 What makes me tick?
Turning complex problems into seamless user journeys. Pushing boundaries with human-centered design.
Mentoring future design minds as a university instructor(because knowledge grows when shared!). Living and studying in
Milan for my MSc in Communication Design gave me a global perspective and a deep love for interaction design and data visualization.
I even had the honor of
representing Latin America in an Accenture competition with a project aligned with the OSDG 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. (Yes, I’m all about merging design with purpose!)
✨ When I’m not designing:
You’ll find me on a quest for growth—building emotional intelligence, staying curious, and chasing holistic well-being. Because let’s face it:
a happy, balanced designer is a better problem-solver! If you’re excited about designing for impact, creating empathic experiences, or just want to geek out about innovation, education, or design trends, let’s connect.
write me, don’t be shy! 📬
Let’s make cool, meaningful things happen together! 🚀
