Hi, I’m Stephanie

I am a second-generation American. My parents are from Nicaragua, and I speak Spanish and English fluently. I have been working as a product designer for over ten years. During this time, I have developed a strong passion for designing digital products that are user-centric and engaging to deliver value to businesses and customers.

As a bilingual product designer, I can communicate effectively with diverse audiences and stakeholders. I also understand cultural and linguistic nuances that can influence user behavior and preferences.

I am UX Certified from Nielsen Norman, demonstrating my commitment to continuous learning and professional development. I have also earned the Business Essentials for Designers, Habits of High Performing Teams, Designing Stories, and Business Strategy certifications from Designer Fund.

I am enrolled in Memorisely to enhance my design systems skills and Product Strategy for Designers course. I am also actively learning French.

    I feel fortunate to have found a career that excites me.

  • How I landed my job at Gracenote

    In 2013, I rode the bus from Sacramento to San Francisco for a hackathon, which led to an interview at Gracenote.

    This is my dog, and his name is Burrito.

  • I can't live without music
