My Story
Hello! I’m Diego Alfonso Rodriguez, a recent Google UX Design Specialization graduate, and an aspiring Generalist Designer. My background in animation and storytelling informs my approach to creating engaging, user-centered experiences.
​
I managed production for the popular YouTube series Canticos until December 2024 and contributed to projects such as Night of the Animated Dead, honing my teamwork, project management, and creative problem-solving skills—assets I now apply to UX design. My passion for storytelling and user empathy helps me craft intuitive solutions that delight and empower audiences.
​
Alongside my media production work, I’ve also authored and illustrated books, most notably The Silly Chronicles of Mrs. Flibbertigibbet. Through writing and illustration, I’ve gained insight into how narrative elements can enhance user engagement and drive design decisions. I’m currently exploring these ideas further in my upcoming fantasy novel, Chaos’s Key, utilizing immersive principles that parallel inclusive design thinking.
