Abel Angel Gonzalez Hernandez

Hello all! I’m an aspiring Product and UX Designer with a multidisciplinary background rooted in Cognitive Science (Design & Interaction specialization). My studies have equipped me with a unique blend of human-centered design, behavioral science, computational thinking, and technical skills like programming and data analysis.

In addition to leading digital projects—like designing the collaborative music-sharing app (TwinTunes) and developing the gamified sustainability education tool (Energy Avenue)—I’ve applied my skills in public engagement as an Interpretive Science Educator Intern at Cabrillo National Monument. There, I designed interactive educational programs and digital content that connected diverse audiences to science, history, and conservation, using UX principles, design thinking, and social computing to craft engaging, user-centered experiences.

My interdisciplinary background makes me a multifaceted collaborator, able to bridge the gap between design, technology, and user needs. This versatility allows me to excel in cross-functional teams, where understanding diverse perspectives and integrating insights from research, design, and technical domains is key to delivering impactful products.

With proficiency in UI/UX design, user research, product strategy, and technical tools like Figma, Python, and data science practices, I approach challenges with both creative insight and analytical rigor. I’m passionate about tech innovation, especially how digital platforms can enhance social connectivity, education, and accessibility.

Currently seeking opportunities in Product Design, UX Design, or Product Management, where I can leverage my interdisciplinary skill set to build meaningful, user-centered solutions in tech-driven environments.

Remember, design goes beyond just aesthetics. Let's connect and make an experience!
