Hi, I’m Kimberly Altamira, a creative designer based in Dallas, Texas.
Through my high school career , I’ve been actively involved in Graphic Design, and evolving in web design. I started taking Graphic Design classes during my freshman year, all the way until my senior year at Skyline High School and I’ve been passionate about it ever since. I’ve had the opportunity to work with various art mediums and Adobe software like Photoshop. I was an intern at Oppti, where I learned more about UI/UX design and many skills, one of them being the importance of documenting my work process.
What sparked my interest in design? Well, since I was a child, I’ve always been captivated by vibrant and colorful designs. Design and art shape my perspective on everything in life. I find joy in creating things and have realized my talent in this field. My design philosophy centers around simplicity, elegance, and functionality, ensuring that every pixel serves a purpose. I also believe that design and creativity are present everywhere, we just need to step back and see the bigger picture.
