We’re excited to welcome Nathali Amaro to our team as Designer! Join us in learning more about the latest member of the growing BrightGauge crew...
The Early Days
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Nathali hit the road at 17 and moved to Montreal, Canada, so that she could learn English. During the next two years, she moved a handful of times and endured a couple of brutal winters - which quickly led to the realization that she wanted to live in a sunny and warm place. Miami was calling!
After getting settled in Miami, Nat (as we call her) enrolled at Miami International University of Art & Design. Looking for a creative career, and following her interests in both traditional art and digital mediums led her to pursue Web Design and Interactive Media. She earned her BFA, then spent 3 years in a front end development role, although from time to time she was invited to be part of the team creating strategies, solutions, and designs… Nat realized this was the path that she enjoyed the most.
Up next, a stint with Careerscore offered her the opportunity to learn more about user-centered design and experiences, through Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design. Simultaneously, Nat was working on a passion project for her blog on sustainability, which led her to discover Donegood.co, a Boston-based startup whose browser extension makes it easy to discover businesses on a mission to make the world better. Working on that blog led to a short-term project as UX Designer where Nat spent her days talking to users, studying user flows, prototyping solutions, designing and executing testing, creating high-fidelity designs, and even writing a bit of front-end code. Wrapping up the project and looking for a full-time gig, Nat knew that she wanted to find a company where she would not only use her skills to create delightful experiences for users, but where she could also collaborate with a team and learn from others.
Joining Team BrightGauge
As we always do with our new teammates, we asked Nat about why she decided to join our fast-growing crew. Her first exclamation was, “Meeting the team was the biggest part of my decision to join. I just felt comfortable during the interview process and with the people that I got to meet.”
She then went on to note that learning about how our Product team works on implementing new technologies and are always striving to continue improving the platform were important factors in her decision. Nat was also able to spend time talking to our team about the ongoing role that UI plays within the app, as crafting the best possible experience for our users continues to be a critical focus for BrightGauge… also an equally important focus for Nat, as this area is her passion! She closed by saying, “I also loved seeing abundant feedback from users because engaged users show that BrightGauge is providing value.”
As part of our team, Nat is excited to have the opportunity to devote her full attention to design work! She’s passionate about finding ways to improve the user experience for our community and looks forward to designing new features in the not-too-distant future.
After Hours
In her free time, Nat enjoys hanging out with her husband, Auston, and their friends, or participating in yoga, running sessions with her dog, and listening to audiobooks or podcasts (her current podcast obsession is Hardcore History). Nat also spends time traveling, hiking, cooking up new meals, being a tea enthusiast, and even finds a creative outlet in the pottery wheel, which she promises to master soon!
