Hi There, I’m Domenica 👋🏻
I was born and raised in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Art and design have always been a big part of my life, even from a very young age. A memory that sticks out to me is being 2 years old and sitting on my mom's lap while she attended her graphic design and photography classes. That early exposure kindled my interest in the visual arts. Now, I proudly hold a BFA in Motion Media Design from SCAD. Motion design is a passion that lets me combine and work across various art and design disciplines, a path that started on my mom's lap.
Lately, I've developed a keen interest in User Experience Design. I'm intrigued by the idea that well-thought-out products and experiences can make people's lives easier and better.
From mid-2022 until late 2023, I was lucky enough to take on various roles at Bubbl, a startup aimed at connecting friends and communities through shared experiences and aiding event organizers in promoting their events. This role was a thrilling chance to delve deeper into my love for crafting impactful, well-designed products and experiences. While there, I tackled projects involving motion design, photography, social media content, and branding. These experiences broadened my skills and opened up new design avenues for me. Recently, I've started with SCAD's visual media team as a motion designer, where I'm applying and growing my motion design abilities.
When I'm not deep in design work, you can find me unwinding with one of my cameras in hand, taking photos, going for a run, obsessing over fitness and health stats, or jotting down thoughts in my journal. Reading's another big one for me, as is spending quality time with loved ones, exploring new destinations, and yes – scrolling through TikTok, sharing laughs and finds with close friends. These hobbies keep me inspired and remind me there's a world outside of screens and sketches.
I always find it amusing when someone asks, 'Where do you see yourself in five years?' Truth is, I'm still figuring it all out. But one thing's for sure: I'll be somewhere creating, exploring, and making an impact with my work :)
