ABOUT ME
Hi! So you are looking for a UX Writer or Content Strategist?
I’m a certified Spanish translator from Barcelona based in Berlin. After 10 years of full-time, full-solo freelancing, in 2020 I started looking for a more team-oriented skill to add to my services... and UX Writing came to me.
Several weeks of formal training in UX Writing and many many Medium articles later, I believe I did the right choice: UX writing allows me to unfold my analytical thinking and apply my language experience. And that while making users’ lives easier (that’s my inner Girl Scout speaking).
So here I am, knocking on UX doors. Will it be your door?
WORK
Content Design
Perfect timing is: to call a client offering to “practice” on their website and hear they just started planning a total web redesign.
Onboarding Flow
The Catalan Gov. launched a corona self-diagnose app to decrease tel. consultations. My approach tries to reduce the user’s psychological burden.
Sign-in form
Filling in medical forms can feel annoying and endless. In this fictional app, the sign-in form aims to be easy and pleasant.
Confirmation dialogue
The music app Shazam© has a rare functionality: users can log out but leave their library visible. I reviewed the log-out flow and tried to simplify the concept.
404 page
A service-oriented NGO with a dead-end 404? Not after applying some UX Writing.
My portfolio
Do UX Writers need a portfolio? Maybe. Should mine be included in my Translation Services website? Maybe. How UX Writing strategies defined my web.
