I can not be more grateful for Joana's call. She gave me stellar feedback on the UX/UI and proposed some important questions on what users may need. I can't recommend her enough if you're in for some insightful feedback on your product. I'm looking forward to talking to her again soon!

Bio

Hi! I’m Joana Cerejo, a UX Designer passionate about Digital Design and the Human Experience. I’m fascinated with how we shape technology and how technology shapes us in return, especially under Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. I’m a data-driven designer with a huge curiosity for how future technologies will shape the design creation process. I’m a hands-on implementer. I care about the small details and enjoy constantly acquiring new skills and knowledge. I see design as a tool for driving business value. I lead project visions and contribute hands-on implementation across the project's ecosystem. I have experience covering all the steps of the process to create usable and delightful digital experiences. I can solve business problems and translate them into a beautiful digital solution that users delight. During my process, I collect and analyze research about users. I visualize data in actionable artifacts: personas, user flows, user journeys, blueprints, story & opportunity mapping, affinity diagrams. etc. to create the product vision. After that, I take the results as an input into delivery where I write user stories and scenarios from a user and experience perspective.

    UX Design & Customer Success industries are vital to one another. Software demonstrations are some of the most effective ways to improve the usability of your product. And demonstrating it is a fantastic way for customer success teams to feed into your product development. Ask them about something that annoyed them from a recent demo and I can guarantee they’ll have some feedback you can use to improve your software.
