I'm Jenny Arredondo, a passionate UX/UI Designer
and Photographer based in New York.
Born and raised in Mexico City, I was fascinated and constantly inspired by the rich culture that surrounded me while growing up. After high school it was clear that studying Graphic Design was the perfect career move for me but I also knew that it was very important to follow my dreams, grow and develop as a person.
On February 2005 I got a one way ticket to India and left Mexico to backpack through South East Asia. I lived in Bangkok for over three years, returned to the American continent and finally relocated to New York where I've been living for over a decade. During this journey my passion for photography began and I started developing my own style and vision. Adventure and adapting to change are some of my core values. Experiencing different cultures allowed me to understand humanity on a deeper level, developing empathy and compassion along the way. I'm a great story teller and love to observe people and my surroundings for hours.
Thanks to the recent and relevant experience collaborating remotely to complete General Assembly's immersive UX/UI Design program, I strengthened my visual design and human skills. Incorporating different research methodologies effectively, I connect with people by asking the right questions. My mission is to find the truth, not to build a case for my personal assumptions.
I’m not just a problem solver, I’m a problem spotter!
Sketching wireframes and brainstorming solutions to user's problems, trying different ideas and iterating comes naturally to me. I tackle problems from multiple perspectives and I'm always up for a challenge. I'm a detail freak!
In my leisure time, I DJ and produce deep techno, ambient and electronica and carefully curate my podcast "Feed The Raver", a show that has been broadcasted internationally for 9 years and that supports local talents worldwide.
I'm a crazy foodie so you'll often find me enjoying nice drinks and amazing meals at local restaurants. I'm always planning my next trip and love filling up my passport pages. I'm a proud doggie mom and when we aren't meditating at the park, I roller skate around the streets of Brooklyn. I embrace my inner geek, I adore books and learning something new every day.
Contact me if you would like to collaborate. I'm all open ears, mind and heart.
