A little bit about me
I'm Irina Altuna, a Product Designer based in Barcelona and born in the Caribbean.
I have a strong interest in technology and how it can improve people's lives, which is why I am particularly drawn to UX design. It is fulfilling for me to create digital experiences that are not only practical but also enjoyable to use. I strive to merge modern technology with classic design principles, resulting in refined and delightful digital experiences.
I am constantly seeking new opportunities and challenges in both my personal and professional life.
