About Circe

Advocate for Every Voice

I’m Circe, a Digital Experience and Graphic Designer passionate about creating accessible, user-focused designs that make everyday experiences better.

Communication and connection are at the heart of my work. Beyond visuals, I explore communication through spoken, signed and tactile forms. I speak Spanish, French and English, and am learning Portuguese, American Sign Language (ASL) and Braille.

Experiencing different languages and cultures, especially when travelling, has helped me understand diverse cultures, values, perspectives and how people navigate the world. I bring this empathy directly into my design process to help build a more welcoming, inclusive spaces for everyone.

Outside of work, I love giving back through volunteer projects with non-profits and community organizations, offering design support, consultations and creative solutions to help their missions grow.

Whether I’m collaborating on a project, exploring a new language or volunteering, I’m always looking for opportunities to learn, create and make a positive impact through thoughtful design.

Design Thinking

My Creative Approach

Great design starts with empathy. By understanding people’s needs and pain points, I create accessible, user-friendly journeys that solve real problems.

01.

Listen + Discover

Every project begins with understanding people, goals and challenges through research, conversations and discovery to build a strong foundation for thoughtful design.

02.

Define + Prioritize

I organize research into clear insights, identify opportunities and focus on solving the right problems before exploring design solutions.

03.

Explore + Create

Ideas take shape through sketches, wireframes, visual concepts and collaborative iteration, balancing creativity with usability, accessibility and project goals.

04.

Prototype + Refine

Interactive designs are tested, reviewed and improved through feedback, ensuring each experience is intuitive, accessible and ready for development.

05.

Launch + Measure

After launch, I evaluate performance, gather insights and monitor user feedback to understand what’s working and where improvements can be made.

06.

Learn + Evolve

Digital journeys are never finished. I continuously refine content, accessibility and functionality to support changing user needs and long-term success.
