# Cristina Tulcidas > Senior Product Designer Location: Loulé, Faro, Portugal Profile: https://flows.cv/cristinatulcidas Olá, I’m Cristina, a generalist UX Product Designer who seeks to blend insights, cognitive psychology and usability patterns to unlock experiences that bridge the intersection of people and technology. Designer by qualification and kind human by choice, what ties it together is a love for learning, and passion for understanding people and their stories. My methodology is adaptive and cross-collaborative, I believe great products are built upon the fluidity between design, research and engineering. When I am not lost in design jargon, I am a drooling mother of a 50kg italian mastiff and 2 disabled cats, wannabe hybrid athlete and a festival princess. https://cristinatulcidas.com ## Work Experience ### Senior Product Designer @ Iterable Jan 2025 – Present | Lisbon, Portugal An all-in-one customer communication platform with AI-powered cross channel communications engineered with enterprise-grade security, compliance and control.
