About Monica Gutierrez-Lopez

I’m Monica, a UX designer with 3 years of experience in SaaS, Education & Civic Tech. I design solutions that are intuitive, accessible and beautiful. I bring a strong mix of user research, systems thinking, and visual design. Before transitioning into design, I spent years working in nonprofit and education spaces—where I learned how to lead with empathy, communicate clearly, and solve real-world problems. Now, I bring that same mindset into the world of digital product design.I’ve worked on a range of projects that span user research, wireframing, prototyping, and crafting clean, accessible interfaces. I’m especially drawn to building user-centered experiences that create value for both people and businesses.Outside of design, I’m passionate about soccer, travel, faith and creating things that make a positive impact. I approach each project with curiosity, heart, and a constant drive to grow.I’m currently exploring opportunities to transition into a ux design role—ideally at an education, civic tech, or a sports-focused startup where I can contribute to mission-driven work and continue growing as a designer.
