About Me

Hi, I'm Gabi! I work with Human-centered design since 2018, and I have a master's in Customer Experience and Innovation from IE Business School, Madrid. During my working hours, I'm currently a Global Service Designer @ FARFETCH, doing what's never been done for the love of fashion. In my free time: - I study a lot about circular SD - I write about SD (in Portuguese) @ Umani Design - I'm passionate about ceramics! I believe customer-centricity to be the smartest way a business can operate. User research enables assertive decision-making, and service design approaches to challenges with an E2E perspective, leveraging UXR insights to unlock hidden opportunities.
