I’m Heilyn Umaña

I'm a dedicated UX/UI Designer passionate about crafting user-centered experiences, tackling complex design problems, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. Experienced in creating high-fidelity prototypes, working with design systems, and delivering scalable, innovative design solutions that drive value for customers. Currently, I am working as a UX/UI Designer at a global consulting firm.

When I’m not designing I enjoy reading fantasy and sci-fi, well almost anything, and rewatching X-files or Avatar the Last Airbender.
