Hello, I’m Zena Corda. I recently graduated with an MFA in Interaction Design from Umeå Institute of Design in June 2021.
My curiosity towards peoples stories and their behaviours drives me to create simple and meaningful solutions. The best solutions come from people who are potential users, hence involving them in a collaborative setup is the way I try to approach and develop solutions.
I am a firm believer in using technology to support human needs. My goal is to create responsible products that have a positive impact on peoples lives.
I am looking for interesting opportunities where I can contribute with my design skills.
