Hey, my name is Natalia Galindo.
I'm a senior product designer who builds digital products with insights, creativity, and strategy.
✨ Currently available for job opportunities.
I’m driven by crafting innovative approaches to work that make the design process enjoyable and foster the creation of intuitive and meaningful experiences.
Originally from Colombia, I have 8+ years of experience in design and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. Through this experience I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end design process, which has empowered me to lead design teams focusing on diverse industries, expanding my expertise and adaptability.
In practice, I enjoy blending teamwork, research, and emerging technologies while keeping a keen eye on the business purpose. Being an enthusiast of data-driven visualization, I value and advocate for research and the use of data to create coherent products.
Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy observing, empathizing, and creating digital products and arts & crafts during my free time. I believe in continually empathizing and iterating our relationship with everything around us.
My Creative Principles
Embracing the Big Picture
I thrive on listening to stakeholders, examining available documentation, and conducting thorough research to connect the dots and gain a comprehensive understanding of the needs or challenges at hand. I transform insights and inquiries into opportunities.
Data Driven Design
By leveraging data, I can make more informed decisions, create user-centric designs, and ultimately enhance the user experience. I value data for adjusting and improving design strategies to create products and experiences that successfully meet users' needs while achieving business objectives.
Collaboration
I cultivate creative environments and encourage open communication within my team and among colleagues to address various challenges. Collaboration is essential for generating fresh ideas and achieving clarity in design problem-solving.
Effective Processes
Whether faced with complex or straightforward processes, I champion implementing deep product thinking to establish a framework that benefits everyone while remaining flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances and priorities.
