# Omar Villavicencio Calderon > Product Designer Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/omarvillavicenciocalderon Imagining, creating, and translating ideas to visual mediums makes me happy. UI designs are perfect for my mind to express and communicate. As a UX/UI designer, I’m fascinated by how technology interfaces with people and enables them to be better and do more. Most of all, I’m inspired by seeing software come to life and people interacting with it through delightful and engaging UIs I enjoy translating concepts and UX wireframes into engaging Hi-Fi UIs that serve a purpose for people to be better and do more in their personal and professional lives. I love prototyping and iterating on my designs to find the most usable, delightful and engaging version possible. I’m interested in discovering what, how, and why people find UIs appealing, useful, and simply awesome. I’m also strategic and thoughtful about creating UI elements that fit into a scalable design system With many years at Microsoft working as a software engineer, collaborating with UX/UI designers and Product Owners, I implemented 12+ systems with UIs that range from clean/simple to very complex, all of them to make employees’ lives better and more productive. I developed a feature for a custom app for the CEO and worked on the TEALS (tealsk12.org) project to help close the computer science gap across the country During my downtime, I can be found drawing at meetups or sketching at local cafes. If you can’t find me, it’s because I’m traveling to new places or exploring the city. These activities increase my creativity, intercultural awareness, and empathy. Of course, we can explore the city together as I enjoy getting to know and connecting with everyone See my portfolio (www.omarvc.com). If it’s not up, it’s because I’m on my nth iteration improving it UX/UI design | Hi-Fi Prototypes | Sketch | Figma | inVision | Adobe Creative Suite | Design Systems | Mobile-first | Responsive websites | Web apps | Mobile apps -iOS, Android | Design | Wireframe | Branding | Logo creation | Visual Competitive Research | Usability | Desirability | Testing ## Work Experience ### Product Designer @ Wells Fargo Jan 2023 – Present | New York, United States ### User Experience Designer @ Real Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | New York, New York, United States ### UX Manager @ ZenKey Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | New York, United States ### UX/UI Designer @ ZenKey Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | New York, United States ### Product Designer @ Cue Studio Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Greater New York City Area ### UI/UX Designer @ ChangEd App Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | New York, NY ChangeEd app helps students pay off their student loans.
