Diana Castro Márquez -
Product designer born and raised in the northeast of the Colombian Andes, now living in Milan.
With a background in both digital and industrial design, since 2017 I’ve had created a diverse range of products, services and experiences. I thrive on engaging in all phases of the product process, but I shine the most when working on user research and sustainability.
My experience includes UX design for international campaigns, crafting interfaces for luxury automotive brands, and coordinating user-testing initiatives. I’ve also played a key role in a concept for a Creative Europe project, an interface for an aerospace manufacturer, contributed to Salone Satellite and the brand identity and communication for a YouTube channel with over 2 million subscribers.
Today I work as Experience Designer at AKQA. Before I worked as Product Designer at Doing and served as Art Studio Assistant at Ufficio Resurrezione Parole Smarrite.
On my free time I make things using needle and thread →
