Hi, I am Santiago Gambera.
UX Designer, curious mind and overall chill guy.
Thanks for stopping by.
a little ABOUT ME
Born and raised in Uruguay’s seaside capital, Montevideo. Always a curious one. As a kid I would tinker and break things apart to see how they worked.
An atentive mind, deeply interested in learning new things and trying out different hobbies, but even more in learning (or figuring out) how things related to each other and how different knowledge would crossover to other disciplines.
I was always drawn to storytelling in every expresion. As such, I think experiences, stories shared and deep conversations with someone are the most valuable treasures. There is no fiction like reality.
I studied programming to learn how to talk to machines properly. I studied design to talk to human emotions properly.
After being called the “creative one” among programmers and the “calculating one” among designers, I decided to try my best to join both worlds. User Experience Design emerged from that combination and I was happy to take that path in my life and try and help improve the relationship between Humans and their tools.
My mind is fully engaged at any new experience. I love new places, new environments, learning new things and solving new challenges.
The passion that drove me throughout all my life was to find a challenge (human, digital, visual or otherwise) and try my best to solve it, and in the process make at least someone’s life happier.
