About

I’m Mel— a designer who wants to utilize design as a means to help improve people's lives.

I'm a recent graduate of a Master's in Interaction Design, and I have a bachelor's degree in International Relations & Integration.

I have a keen interest in a variety of domains, from design, UX research, digital marketing, and international systems. I believe that this world is interconnected, and embracing a multidisciplinary approach promotes creative ways of thinking.

In the past few years, I have gained experience in both management assistance and digital marketing. Currently, I'm an associate at Reacción Paraguay, a NGO dedicated to promoting open government principles in Paraguay,  focusing on the education public sector.
