About
Hi, I'm Diego Hurtado. I am the founder of Visio Visions LLC & a UI/UX Designer based in Silicon Valley, USA.
I immigrated to the US when I was 3 years old & as a child I loved to draw. As a teen, I was inspired by art, literature, hip-hop, graffiti & photography which continued to fuel my creative passions. As a college student at San Jose State University, I discovered my knack for graphic design, where I used my artistic experience in colors, shapes, lines, layouts, & attention to detail to quickly grasp it. My passion & instinct for improving human experiences naturally led me to explore UX methodologies through logical, strategic processes.
The impact I have on brands through the skills & knowledge I've gained throughout the various exciting steps of my life path is something I never imagined myself doing. For this, I am grateful and will humbly continue learning & improving myself & my clients' brands. As technology is quickly changing, I believe those of us in the industry have a responsibility to move forward in a way that is responsible towards humanity & the world we live in & love. Change is inevitable; progress is vital to life.
My hobbies include exercising my creativity in other ways such as art & music; traveling to new places, going on road trips, lifting weights, practicing Muay Thai, cooking & playing with my pets.
