02 — CÓMO TRABAJO

Vengo del código,
no del papel

Me gradué de Ingeniería en Ciencias Informáticas y trabajé como analista, probadora y desarrolladora antes de dedicarme al diseño. Eso cambia dos cosas: cómo converso con un equipo de desarrollo, y qué considero una decisión de diseño razonable dentro de una restricción técnica.

Trabajo con investigación primero. No porque sea una etapa obligatoria de un proceso, sino porque las decisiones que no se pueden explicar terminan revirtiéndose en la primera reunión difícil.

Y documento mientras diseño. En mi último proyecto centralicé todo el discovery en Confluence, y por eso el equipo pudo consultar el origen de cada decisión meses después.

03 — ACERCA DE MARTHA

Soy diseñadora de producto con base en ingeniería de software. Empecé en 2013 en proyectos de desarrollo en la Universidad de las Ciencias Informáticas, en La Habana, bajo contrato de formación mientras cursaba la carrera, y me quedé como trabajadora tras graduarme en 2016.

Llegué al diseño desde la ingeniería: dirigí proyectos de IoT y automatización industrial, y en el camino descubrí que lo que más me interesaba no era el sistema sino la persona que tenía que usarlo. En 2021 me mudé a República Dominicana, y desde entonces he trabajado en salud pública, energía y banca.

He sido durante temporadas la única diseñadora de una empresa, y también he trabajado en célula con otro diseñador. He mentorizado a diseñadores junior y he aprendido de colegas al mismo nivel — en mi último equipo, mi compañero me enseñó estética multiplataforma mientras yo le enseñaba a argumentar decisiones de UX.

Fuera del trabajo paso tiempo en familia, cocino, y hago jabones. Las tres cosas tienen más que ver con el diseño de lo que parece.

UX Designer

Intellisys D. Corp · Santiago, DR · Hybrid

I was the company's only UX/UI designer for much of my time there. I led the design of VacúnateRD —digital vaccination certificates, registration and appointment applications, and vaccination centers— for the Dominican Republic's national vaccination system.

Analyzed focus groups and field-recorded usability tests in El Salvador for Galenus AI, translating qualitative findings into insights that helped align AI-generated reports with the actual format used by hospitals in the country. Designed flows, wireframes, and interactions for SkillsCharting, and mentored a junior designer on the tuHospital project.

I'm open to product roles on teams that value research as part of the design process, not as a box to check beforehand.
