Hi · Olá

I’m Clara Torres, a multidisciplinary designer
with a focus on experience and communication.

I have graduated from the Master's program in
Interaction Design at Umeå Institute of Design and 
I’m now looking for new opportunities.
 
       
What,                        
         about                    
       my          
               process?
 


   
Creative & empathetic
Problem-solving

During my education I explored user-centred mehodologies, as well as participatory and co-creative approaches, working for and with users and stakeholders. I developed an appreciation for storytelling, prototyping and workshoping activities that allow me to step into users world and explore it with others.







Social driven
complexity

As a designer, I enjoy navigating challenging projects and developing innovative and impactful experiences, using technology as a medium. I have explored diverse contexts such as forestry, healthcare, mobility and activism through the optics of social and ecological transformation and sustainability.
