About

Juan Camilo Alzate Peña

Colombian designer based in Switzerland

I’m creative and motivated about design and creating experiences people love. I have a passion for empathizing with the needs and behaviors of people, the business, and how to solve for them through design.

I have a profound interest in interaction and visual design as well as problem solving thinking with an user-centered approach, based on research, ideation, prototyping, and testing.

With a multidisciplinary skill set I integrate creative thinking with technical and business expertise.
