Darwin Piodos

UI/UX Designer

I turn user needs into clean, accessible, and effective interfaces.

I am a dedicated UI/UX designer who approaches every project with genuine humility and a commitment to serving the user. My work is guided by the principles of Design Thinking, ensuring I deeply understand the problem before offering a solution. I focus on quickly creating structural wireframing and validating assumptions through essential user research methods and usability testing. I believe a truly good UX designer must prioritize learning and consistently apply rigorous foundational practices.

My primary tool for UI/UX design and prototyping is Figma, supplemented by Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop for visual graphics. I ensure productive, quality results by adhering to industry standards like the Google Material Design system and the Apple Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). I have knowledge of Agile methodologies for smooth collaboration with developers and teams. I actively seek out and treat design critiques as crucial learning opportunities, even when handling negative feedback. My deep-seated work ethic drives me to focus on getting the job done well and continually growing in the industry.
