About me

I'm Dayana
Gonzalez

I'm a UX/UI & Visual Designer with over 5 years of experience bridging the gap between business, design, and development. With a background in advertising, I bring a strategic layer to every project — not just thinking about how something should look, but why it needs to communicate what it does.

I adapt my process to what each project actually needs. Some products require full discovery, user flows, and iterative testing. Others need sharp execution and clear alignment from day one. Either way, my goal is the same: deliver coherent, functional experiences that are as considered visually as they are structurally.

I've designed for healthcare, banking and insurance platforms, along with global institutions, always making sure the people involved understood what was being built — and why.

Right now I'm working as a Graphic Designer at EVEN, a New York-based company — supporting the creative and marketing team with visual assets, campaigns, and brand consistency in a fully remote setup. It's a role that keeps my visual craft active while I look for the right opportunity to step back fully into UX/UI.

Why choose me?

(01)

Business-minded design

I don't just design screens — I think about how each decision impacts the business and the user at the same time. My background in advertising shapes how I approach every project.

(02)

Process that fits the project

Not every project needs the same process. I know when to run full discovery and when to move fast with sharp execution, based on real scope and budget.

(03)

Honest, not just agreeable

I tell clients what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear — even when that means flagging risks they decide not to act on.

(04)

Systems thinking, with a visual eye

From banking permission rules to multi-step insurance forms, I design inside real business constraints — always with the visual craft to make complexity feel simple.
