Hello! I’m Alexia, a multi-modal designer living in New York City.
As a design practitioner with a multicultural background, I integrate a diverse range of design practices with participatory research to develop strategic products and services that are both accessible and culturally competent.
I believe that the most comprehensive design solutions emerge from robust cross-functional collaboration and design processes that rely on a variety of design research practices. I am happiest in creative and collaborative environments where I can facilitate lively co-creative discussions with a range of stakeholders to learn about their experience, needs, and pain points with the goal of creating solutions that are effective and sustainable over time.
New York is my current home, but I was born in Venezuela and spent a portion of my childhood in Belgium. I have called the East Coast my home for over 20 years. In 2018, I completed my graduate degree at SVA’s Products of Design program, where I dedicated my MFA thesis titled “Dare + Defy” to designing for women in the great outdoors. By following a human-centered design approach, I developed a suite of design offerings that effectively satisfy women’s needs in this space.
