I’m Heilyn Umaña

I’m a UX/UI Designer with 11+ years of experience delivering solutions for top-tier global consultancies. Expert in architecting scalable Design Systems and simplifying complex data into intuitive interactive experiences. I deliver high-impact, industry-specific UX solutions by adapting to unique project needs, from initial ideation and research to high-fidelity prototyping and developer handoff.

When I’m not designing I enjoy reading fantasy and sci-fi, well almost anything, and rewatching X-files or Avatar the Last Airbender.
