about me
who: i'm bernadette. but you can call me berny
what: im a ux/ui/product designer who makes things look good and work even better
brain: IT major, marketing minor — i think about design from every angle. how it works, how it sells, and how it feels
life outside figma: writing, making short films, and convincing my dog she's a supermodel
dream: to work on products that sit at the intersection of creativity and purpose
Process is everything. Here's mine.
Still here? That means a lot.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful designer, I’d love to hear from you.
01 - Understand the User
Before a single frame is designed, I need to understand who I'm designing for and why it matters to them.
02 - Explore + Research
I look at the competitive landscape, existing patterns, and user behavior to find where the real design opportunity lives.
04 - Design with Purpose
I design with intention — every color, every layout choice, every word traces back to a decision.
06 - Align with Business
Every design supports the user experience and business goals.
03 - Sketch + Plan
Structure and flow come before visuals — wireframes let me work through the thinking before committing to the design.
05 - Test + Iterate
I test with real users, gather honest feedback, and implement what I learn directly into the design.
