I’m Paula Ariza aka papau an experienced art director, with a sense of Human Centered Design, I had a great track record in collaborating across teams. Providing creative campaigns and ideas, also taking them into production. I consider my strongest points the ability to bring others to the creative process, collaborate and produce smart, quality work with me. 
Lastly, being adaptable and changing my input depending on what is needed of me is one of my strongest skills. I enjoy hands-on work as well as leading conceptually, creating ideas and designs, and leading a team.
Additionally, my process of creation involves main design methodologies such as design thinking, (research, mapping, brainstorming) and the ability to face business challenges. As an overview of my strongest skills, I would include creativity, branding development, and graphic design services online and offline.

I believe in the power of human-centered design that shapes society and love to work solving complex problems such as Sustainability, Health, and Global Equity.
