Hey, I’m Nefthali Arizmendi (or Nef for short)! I’m a Computer Science + Design graduate interested in playful, human-centered design across both digital and physical experiences.
I enjoy creating work that makes information easier to understand, more inviting to explore, and genuinely connected to real people’s needs. My design approach blends storytelling, research, visual design, and interaction to create experiences that feel clear, friendly, and meaningful.
I also believe in using AI as a tool, not a replacement. I use it to brainstorm, clean up my grammar, map out initial layouts, or debug. But the actual creativity, storytelling, personal edits, and hands-on making always come from me. AI is helpful for getting things started, but the heart of the project and the final ideas always come straight from my own mind.
Growing up with cartoons and video games, I believe curiosity does not disappear as we grow up! The things people remember, enjoy, and feel inspired by often begin when we’re young. So, I try to bring that same sense of warmth into the work I create to explore our younger inner selves.
