Welcome

Here is my story! Curious about my work? Take a look at my portfolio

Hello! I'm Gabriela, a designer, software engineer, and storyteller residing in the gorgeous Trinidad and Tobago.

Being a double-major in Computer Science and Psychology, I not only create software, but I also spend much time pondering human psychology and empathy. I am extremely enthusiastic about creating truly helpful and intuitive digital experiences.

I find it wonderful being in the place where logic intersects with creativity. Thinking in terms of both user flows and the architecture of the backend system enables me to take a raw idea from the pages of a notebook and turn it into a fully functioning application.

Since 2019, I've had an immense pleasure working together with like-minded teams in order to produce digital products with real impact on people and the planet. I have had the opportunity to design and build solutions across 8 distinct industries:

  • Research & Development
  • Leisure & Hospitality
  • Finance & Insurance
  • Education
  • Agriculture
  • Construction
  • Telecommunications
  • Repair & Maintenance

Whether I am designing a database or crafting illustrations, my intention is always to create something people can relate to.
