App Design

New App Designs.


Daniela is passionate about the creative aspects of design as well as the technical aspects of software development. She practices user experience as a means to delight users. With over 15 years of experience creating and re-inventing new apps for the Web, desktops, mobile devices, and kiosks, her passion for finding and understanding customers’ unmet needs, has led her to diverse environments, from the place where patients manage both their medical records and health plan to the fashionable world of Neiman Marcus.

With more than twenty new apps designed from the ground up, Daniela has solved a myriad of design challenges for start-ups, agencies, and Fortune 500 companies. With her unwavering commitment to results, a toolbox of endless options at her disposal, and her thorough understanding of the larger picture Daniela has always managed to adapt the design process to fit different-sized teams and personalities, to deliver on time and within budget, and to exceed expectations.

Below is a list of B2C and B2B solutions for which Daniela was the lead designer, responsible for the User Research-UR, Information Architecture-IA, Interaction Design-ID, Visual Design-VD, Ideation-I, and Front End coding-FE.
