Hey! My name is Violeta, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, currently located in New York City.

As a highly committed and enthusiastic Visual/UX Designer, I specialize in bringing ideas to life through thoughtful design, with a focus on collaboration, high-quality execution and purpose-driven outcomes.

Over the past decade, I’ve helped organizations define their authentic visual identity and develop inspirational digital products across diverse industries.

For me, design is thinking made visual—transforming ideas into beautiful, purposeful, and useful products with intention and precision. 

My core strengths include:

  • Designing impactful brand identities that resonate
  • Visual design support for digital product development from initial concept to product delivery
  • High efficiency and problem-solving skills while maintaining visual excellence
  • Communicating effectively across interdisciplinary teams
  • Constantly learning and evolving my design practice and skills
    Co-creating in collaborative, cross-functional environments
