about-david-portilla

I have extensive experience working as Javascript Developer with solid abilities in UX and accessibility.

Designing services and developing products is my deep passion. I’m a foodie, a constant learner, and a soccer fan. I never stop learning; I read to feed my mind and frequently travel to inspire myself with each culture.

I am a team player; I’ve led design and development teams throughout. I’ve collaborated with friends, entrepreneurs, and companies to fulfill their dreams with projects such as e-commerce,  web portals, mobile applications, and interactive products.

I have been an entrepreneur, triumphed, and made mistakes … however, I have never stopped working to reach my dreams!

What I love and do

I participate actively in creative problem-solving processes, using design and innovation methodologies to achieve memorable experiences.

I don’t make websites; I do service and product design!

I deliver products that point to the business’s growth strategy, always having in mind a user-centered approach to solve my clients’ challenges in digital environments.

My process starts with discovering needs, knowing the users, thinking about the product strategy, and designing the user experience with a clean interface and efficient front-end development.
