What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level to junior roles in digital projects, UX/UI, or cultural tech where I can learn, contribute creative perspectives, and grow in user-centered product design.

Olá! I am Renata Diogo, a UX/UI designer and digital humanities practitioner transitioning from a background in archaeology into the digital and creative industries. I completed postgraduate programs in Digital Humanities & Curation and Web UX/UI Design, gaining hands-on experience in user experience, data visualization, research data management, and interface design.

I have practical field and museum experience from multiple archaeology internships and a museum internship, which informs my sensitivity to cultural context and heritage-centered design. I pair this domain knowledge with tools and methods from UX and digital curation to create accessible and meaningful digital experiences.

I am seeking opportunities in digital projects, UX/UI, or creative organizations where I can keep learning, contribute a fresh perspective, and help build user-centered products that bridge technology and culture.
