About me
Hello! my name is Christian Diaz and I’m a Senior UX & Product Designer from Mexico, with 10+years of experience in digital products and services. I have been very lucky to work in many industries, projects, technologies, areas of expertise and companies.
Since I was a kid, I was very curious and fascinated about machines, technology and how we, as humans, communicate with them. I have a college degree in Graphic Design, but I was able to expand my career beyond that, and focus on interfaces, experiences and human behavior. I see myself as an experience designer and problem solver, whose decision are made based on discovery, research, and findings.
My journey has allowed me to share my experience and knowledge to other people, as a speaker in many events and conferences (like Campus Party and Talent Land). I’m also in a mentoring career path for junior designers, so far I’ve been able to complete 4 mentorship programs with very good feedback, and even friendship with my mentees.
On a more personal side, some of my hobbies include cycling, football, videogames and travel photography. I’ve been very lucky to travel to other places in Mexico, and even other countries, and I took some amazing pictures that reflect the beauty of them. I’m very eager for traveling to being back to normal after the pandemic.
