From ideas to impact, one solution at a time

Fernando Vergel
Designer currently focused on User Experience and Product Strategy. My work centers on designing data-informed solutions that effectively balance user needs with business goals.

I’ve been creating user-friendly designs as a Graphic Designer first, then moved into Web Design, now as a User Experience Designer. But what I do best is understanding people’s needs and turning them into great experiences.

In 2013, I transitioned to HVAC, collaborating with great people to deliver client-specific solutions, ensuring good communication as I managed on-site and remote teams.

By 2022, I circled back to design, specializing in UX, and collaborating in agile frameworks with multidisciplinary teams. I’ve realized it’s more than designing interfaces, it’s about empathizing with people.
