I bring structure to the design process — starting with insights, mapping constraints with the team, and ensuring every decision connects back to what we know about users. From there, I prototype fast so we can test early and align before things get expensive.The result is work the whole team can stand behind — designs that are easy to explain in a review, smooth to hand off to engineering, and built to hold up well after launch.

I'm Talita Collares, a UX designer based in the Netherlands who works at the intersection of research and craft. I don't start with layouts — I start with questions.My process is built around understanding what users actually need, mapping constraints with the team, and making sure every design decision has a reason behind it. I prototype fast, test early, and hand off work that holds up after launch.
