Hello, I'm Diego
MY BACKGROUND
I was born and raised in Peru. Moved to San Francisco, California at the age of 14. As a child, I loved creating content. I dived into video making at the age of 16 leading me to learn how to use Adobe Premiere to edit videos through watching plenty of Youtube Videos. This experience led me to discover the world of digital design, it allowed me to develop a passion and a deep appreciation for craft and a purpose that is present today.
Most recently, I worked as a Product Designer on the Media team at LinkedIn where I designed experiences to enable creators to share their voices on LinkedIn. Moreover, I was also a product designer in the Careers growth team at LinkedIn helping jobseekers apply, improve their candidacy, and get hired.
I come from a family of artisans. My love of design started at an early age because of my exposure to Peruvian textiles that my parents worked with. Over the years, I found myself influenced by the diverse interests and talents around me.
When I'm not pushing pixels, I'm either building Legos or playing with my doggie Qori.
