About
Hello 👋, I’m Chris Velazquez.

With 9 years of experience in UX design, spanning finance, logistics, education, and insurance, I've honed my expertise in creating intuitive and engaging digital products. My passion lies in end-to-end design thinking and user-interface interactions. I excel in bringing concepts to life through dynamic prototypes.

In my career, I've delivered innovative solutions by collaborating closely with product teams, engaging with stakeholders, meticulously analyzing user feedback to refine, and then following through with engineering to launch.

As I advance into a Principal Product Designer role, I bring a wealth of knowledge in UI/UX design, user research, and a commitment to designing products that meet the complex needs of users and businesses.

With my expertise in interaction prototyping and design thinking, I am confident in my ability to lead design strategies that deliver exceptional outcomes. I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to a team that values innovation, user experience, and real world impact.

Let’s connect to discuss how I can contribute to your team’s success.
