Hello everybody!

Since I was a child I have been curious about words, presenting and debating ideas was one of my favorite activities, even with adults. This has always helped me to connect with people of all ages and beliefs in a special way.

I lived my childhood and much of my adolescence between the United States and Latin America, two different cultures, two ways of expressing oneself, of feeling, of communicating, of seeing the world. In my coming and going between these cultures I learned both languages, I am not bilingual, I am both cultures and in my head these two ways of living are present at the same time.

I acquired my professional studies and part of my work experience in Seattle, where I studied Arts Management, where I consolidated my love for art and design. But then, when I returned to Latin America, my professional career changed and became something far removed from what I had always wanted.

In the last two years I feel that I have resumed the course of my vocation and feeling professional, these doors were opened again unexpectedly with the arrival of web3.0 (blockchain and NFT). Being on the brink of technological innovation is exciting and scary at the same time. I think that in a world where changes are so fast, work experiences are difficult to digest and learn from, and this is where this course comes in.

I am currently doing a Postgraduate in UX Writing, and wanted to take this course to have a foundation in graphic design. I now taking this course will help me present my ideas in a way that will support my content designer role. Excited to learn in this course the basic of graphic design and thoroughly explore methodologies and processes that help me develop my current work, I want to adapt these processes to the world of web3, all this while I am acquiring the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge. My goal is to become a referent of User Experiences in Web3 and I know this course will give me the tools I'm looking for.

All the best,
Iris
