ABOUT ZAIDA VELAZCO
I’m Zaida, a Senior UX/UI Designer who designs digital experiences that feel clear, intentional, and human.I specialize in end-to-end UX and UI for product-driven brands and teams from shaping user journeys and design systems to refining interfaces that need to scale. I’m often brought in to untangle complex problems, bring clarity to messy flows, and help teams ship thoughtful, usable experiences without overcomplicating things.My background includes an MBA and a Master’s in Instructional Design & Technology (MSIDT), which grounds my work in strategy, learning psychology, and user empathy. With 10+ years of experience across UX, UI, web, and product-focused work, I bridge business goals with intuitive, well-crafted design.I enjoy collaborating closely with clients and teams, asking the right questions, and turning ambiguity into direction. I care about doing work that’s not only polished, but purposeful and practical.Outside of design, I’m a photographer, former athlete, and proud mom. I love tennis, Formula 1, running, and time with my family, they keep me grounded and curious.Always open to thoughtful conversations, collaborations, and new opportunities.
