Hey, I’m Perla.

I am a UX Designer passionate about empathy-driven, human-centered design.

My Approach

Thoughtful, Clean Design

I believe simplicity makes space for impact. My design style is clean, refined, and user-centered. I use typography, layout, and color intentionally to guide the user, reduce friction, and elevate the experience. For me, good design isn’t just beautiful—it’s functional, clear, and created with purpose.

Empathy at the Core

Whether I’m designing for patients, party guests, or digital users, I always begin by putting people first. My background in healthcare and customer-focused small business taught me how to truly listen and respond with care. I approach every project by understanding not just what users say—but how they feel—so I can design experiences that are both meaningful and intuitive.
