Sofía Alanis Tamez

Mexican Product Designer

¡Hola! I'm Sofía.

I'm a Product Designer, doll collector, and animal lover living in Mexico City. Currently, I'm immersed in the world of fintech as a Design Intern at Nubank.

As a recent graduate, I've spent the last year obsessed with how people interact with technology.
I view myself as a UX-focused designer and researcher who loves the "detective work" of the process.
I've worked hand-in-hand with research teams to dig into user pain points, ensuring that every flow I design and every prototype I build actually solves a real-world need.

I'm a big believer in creating experiences that feel effortless, using (and building) design systems to keep things polished, and working as a team with diverse profesionales to make sure our final version is the best version.

I'm always looking for new ways to help users connect with products and services in meaningful ways.

My values

💛 Passion is everything

I found that because I enjoy what I do, I have the initiative to pour my heart into the things I believe in. I push for boundless creativity and to join other passionate people to make the world a happier place.

📒 Never stop learning

I am always seeking challenges to continually develop myself, such as participating in competitions, collaborating on projects, reading blogs, and involving myself in the design community where I learn from others and also give back through mentorship and sharing my experiences and skills.

Embrace the journey

Embrace the learning curves and failures and discomfort. Open your mind and let curiosity and optimism drive you. Believe in yourself, and also have fun along the way.

🙂 Be human

Empathy and kindness go a long way. Share our knowledge and take time to understand different perspectives. Build towards a culture of inclusion and respect, and stay true to yourself and to others.
