Who I Am:
JOE ARREDONDO

A recent RISD cohort member and a dedicated graphic designer since the last 20 years, i love to help to create products and software that communicate with its users, and help them in their everyday life.

I love learning how people think and behave, and I leverage research to design user - centered products and experiences which solve both user and business problems. My process is hands-on, collaborative, and iterative.

Although I have a holistic view of user experience design, I am most focused on rapid prototyping, interaction design, user research, and usability testing.

For over 10 years i was just a curious graphic designer that somehow get his hands into interactive software via Flash and Hype For Mac, and help to create several interactive software pieces such as a Digital Library and few interactive training courses for a pharmaceutical company in the early 2010's.

For different reasons i got my hands into 3D software and helped to create a custom made stand for the digital library i was working on, and was a massive effort that show me that the interactions happen not only on the screen but also on the space.

I am truly focused in solve communication problems in creative ways, always looking to give unique solutions to problems that are not easy to approach.

Coming from a country that is unforgiving for those who are not willing to adapt to change, i learn since the beginning that the only way to move forward is always keep learning.
