About - Monica Garcia

About

I’m a Product Designer currently working with a stellar team at Carnival Cruise Line. I work on the HUB App and Carnival.com for the booked guest experience. I love collaborating with diverse teams to bring innovative design projects to life.

My career in UX catapulted after I joined Ironhack's UX/UI Design Bootcamp in 2020 while working as a freelance web and graphic designer. After completing Ironhack's Bootcamp, I started my first UX design role at a startup where I collaborated closely with a cross-functional team.

My true value lies in years of hands-on experience in various UX specialties. I’ve also collaborated with clients across diverse fields, including interior design, real estate, jewelry, and travel, bringing a unique perspective and creative solutions to each project.

Values

🥰 Empathy

We connect, relate, and understand people from all walks of life through empathy. As an INFJ, I'm naturally an empath, and I believe it's one of my greatest strengths.

🤔 Innovation

Crafting new ideas to make the world a better place? Count me in! I have a knack for creating and optimizing processes for work and everything in my life.

🤓 Learning

It's a mindset and philosophy to be a life-long learner. Understanding how the world around you works opens up opportunities that otherwise you may have never had a chance to experience.

🤩 Creativity

Having a creative outlet and taking a pause from the daily tasks that consume most of our time is essential; otherwise, we'd go insane. I like to DJ and mix fun tunes when I'm not at my desk.
