Maria Fernanda Higginbotham

Hello, thank you for taking the time to visit my site and learning a bit about my work. About me, my maiden name is Balandra and in Spain means "small sailboat" which is why my personal brand will continue to represent me as FerBalandra.

I am a purple loving UX/UI designer trying to learn from people around me on how to create a better digital presence. From the language I use to how I approach any project, I believe that it is important to start with the end user in mind.

Everyday I learn something new on what it takes to create a user centered design and be truly inclusive.
