Hi! I'm Giselle Aguilar

I'm originally from Lima, Peru, and I currently work as a UX designer at YouTube, focusing on features for creators and viewers. In this role, I’ve launched various projects like Quizzes, a learning feature to enhance user engagement, and Courses, one of YouTube's first paygated options for learning creators. I also lead the design for Downloads, optimizing the offline viewing experience.

Before my time at YouTube, I earned a degree in Visual Communication Design from San Francisco State University. Prior to that, I spent two years working as a graphic designer, which ignited my passion for transitioning into product and user experience design.

I'm an empathetic designer who strives to create uplifting experiences for people. I enjoy going through the whole research and create visual design process to develop products that satisfy all genders, abilities, identities, races, and economic status.

Besides working, you will find me:

🪴 Taking care of my plants - 'I'm a #Plantmom with 20 babies. I didn't even know I had this much until I decided to count them.

✏️ Art is one of my passions, I started as 5 years old with a canvas that was double my height, and now it's what I do when I have free time.

🧋📺 Sometimes you will find me with my Taro milktea boba while watching series like "Running man, "Dogs are Incredible," "Run Bts,"Shingeki no Kyojin," and more.
