Hey, I'm Tina!
I’m a UX Researcher & Experience Designer with 7 years of professional experience, and a background in Graphic Design.
I advocate the need and benefits of research to create intuitive interfaces from data-informed decisions.
Experience
Overview
I consider myself to be a T-shaped professional, having a deeper understanding and experience in UX Design and Research, while also delivering results in other areas such as UI design, HTML/CSS, Project Management, and QA.
Over the past 7 years, I have had the chance to be part of highly capable, multi-disciplinary, distributed teams. Working remotely, which has its own set of challenges, has taught me the importance of reliability, accountability, responsibility, and communication for a team to succeed.
As part of one of those teams, The UX Department, I worked for clients from all over the world, ranging from start-ups to NGO’s and enterprises, in fields distributed across the board, including 4INFO, Oaktree Capital Management, IdeaScale and their clients (several government agencies, universities and Fortune 500 companies like Kimberly-Clark), VSP Global, Rockwell Collins, and more.
I was also part of another extraordinary squad at Haiku. We worked towards redefining how teams collaborate by building products that unify different disciplines: Animator, Diez, Storybook for Teams, and most recently Haiku Crow, where I was the sole designer collaborating directly with the CEO and founder of the company.

Recommendations
I had the pleasure of being Agustina's client partner while designing an app for a new category of products - activity tracking smart glasses. She was a great resource for helping the team find a direction that was both user-friendly and functional. She was always willing to go out of her way to meet the team's expectations, while pushing back when necessary, and was very agile when unexpected directional changes occurred. Her testing methods were thorough and gave us confidence that we were shipping a product that people would love. Anyone would be lucky to have Agustina on their team.
I worked closely with Agustina for about two months on a major product redesign. She is a jack of all trades - insightful researcher, creative designer, efficient project manager, savvy technologist, and overall consummate professional. Before this project I thought I had to be co-located with a design firm to get a quality product. Agustina proved me very wrong! Her skill, flexibility, and professionalism made it a breeze.
Agustina is an absolute joy to work with. Dedicated, passionate, a very creative problem-solver and excellent communicator. I very much enjoyed working with her, and she delivered a final product that was far beyond my wildest and most unreasonable expectations. I would not hesitate to hire or work with her in any capacity, and hope I have the opportunity again myself someday.
Agustina was fresh out of college when she joined our agency, and although she had a strong background graphic design, she was fairly new to designing digital products and it’s been truly a pleasure to see her grow as a designer and become fluent with the UX design process these past few years. She’s a very dedicated and hard-working person with a great ability to solve complex problems. She’s also very easy and fun to work with, which makes it an asset for any team. I would definitely work with her again!
Agustina is a fantastic product designer who not only delivers meticulously researched UX specifications, but also creates beautiful graphics and documentation. I am constantly impressed by the quality, depth, and originality of her work, and look forward to our next opportunity to work together!
