Portrait of Mariano Fedel

about me

Junior UX/UI Designer based in La Plata, Buenos Aires. I specialize in UX Research, UX Writing and Interaction Design (IxD).

I started designing at 15, for my family’s businesses. Later I spent almost six years in charge of design at Curry, our vegan food shop, and between 2025 and 2026 I completed the UX/UI Design program at Coderhouse to move into digital product design.

Today I combine research with the design of readable visual systems. I look for where the experience gets stuck and fix it with structure and words, from the first empathy maps to the microcopy of the last interface state.

I use AI in my workflow and, when I do, I say so in the case study: what the tool did and what I decided. For example, I built this portfolio with Claude Code. See how I built it

I’m looking for a UX/UI design or UX Research role, available full-time, on a product team where I can research, design and test each decision with people.
