UX / UI Web designer

I am passionate about creating engaging online experiences

“UI is the saddle, the stirrups, & the reins. UX is the feeling you get being able to ride the horse.”

— Dain Miller, Web Developer

What does it mean to develop a great User Experience:

Getting to know your target audience

This is the first step of the UX design process. Define their profiles and conduct research on their pains, goals, challenges, and motivations.

Design is more than just good looks

It is the skill of making anything useful. From apps, websites, intranets, and ecommerce, UX is intended to humanise technology to simplify processes and help users accomplish their everyday tasks and goals.

To be clear and straightforward

The user wants to be in charge and take the fewest possible steps along a clear path.

Experimentation and iteration

They are crucial steps in the process in order to create the finest online experience.

Visual story teller

Every project has a narrative to tell, and I'm ready to help you do that

“Every great design begins with an even better story.”

— Lorinda Mamo, Designer / Creative Director

Each interaction has a message for your audience. Why not be in charge of the story you are telling?

To create a narrative that connects with your audience, you need to define:

The story

Why does this product exist, who is it for, what problem do they have, how Is it impacting their life and how might the solution solve that.

The channel

How are you going to reach your audience? What does each channel imply? What are its benefits and limitations? The medium is the message (Marshall McLuhan).

Define the visual narrative

What is the feeling you want to convey? Which is the best style to do that? Is there visual metaphor that is useful?  How can the narrative be more memorable?

Create, test and refine

Not always the first aproach is the best. Iteration is the best way to test and validate any project.

About me

Hi there!
I am Veronica maruri, let me tell you more about me.


I graduated as a Science Communicator.

Since the beginning I been working in the IT industry as a visual designer.  

My journey of creating online solutions and working for different clients took me on the entrepreneurial road: I ran a digital agency, owned a website dedicated to selling video games, and co-founded an online shop selling personalized books for kids under the age of ten.

My interest in startups led me to get a certification in "Creating and Developing Businesses" from a group of renowned venture capitalists in Mexico City.

I like photography, exercising, cooking, and playing video games that involve designing, racing cars or shooting.

I currently reside in Calgary, Alberta.
