A Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Priscilla! 😊
I started my design career 16 years ago as a web and graphic designer and front-end developer, and time has flown ever since! Over the years, I’ve honed my skills in UI, digital design, branding, and illustration, while also exploring 3D modeling, motion graphics, and handmade arts and crafts.
​
In 2019, I completed a UX/UI Bootcamp at Ironhack, where I deepened my understanding of UX processes and Design Thinking. Plus, I met a lot of cool people!
​
Outside of work, I genuinely enjoy the cold, rainy Amsterdam weather (no joke!) and love unwinding with movies and series on the weekends. One of my favorite hobbies is designing rock ‘n’ roll-inspired artwork for my online store.
