About me
Background
I am Alvaro Uribe, a UX Designer based in New York, with over four years of experience applying critical thinking to creating meaningful solutions for stakeholders.
I spend the first decade of my career developing products for the mass consumer housewares and decor markets. In 2019 I launched an online marketplace named Aztro, with the mission to help international design-driven brands enter the U.S. market at an accessible cost. Through this venture, I delved into the realm of UX-UI and found my passion in creating digital solutions that connect people, empower businesses, and tackle complex problems.
Today I work as a contract Senior UX Designer for Paperplane, a Toronto-based agency applying user-centered design practices to digital products and apps. Alongside I teach at Pratt Institute and Parsons, user-centered design processes and visual relationships in product design.
