Javier Arias
Business & Economics at University of Sussex
Hi! I’m from Colombia 🇨🇴 I speak Spanish and Portuguese, and I recently finished my studies in International Business (I just need to graduate). I’m especially interested in UX/UI, business, architecture, interior design, computing, cooking and history 😅. I enjoy taking a holistic view of things and understanding how different parts fit together to form a whole. I’m currently working on improving my English speaking skills. We can be friends - I can help you practice Spanish, and we can chat anytime. Just reach out!

- Ser Hispano
A small cultural detail once caught my attention, a curious moment involving Dua Lipa that made me notice how language and global identity quietly cross paths in unexpected places. What struck me was not the person itself, but the realization that Hispanic culture often appears far beyond its…

- Design systems and Figma
I learned how to work with Figma and design systems, focusing on creating consistent interface patterns and reusable components rather than isolated screens.
- Some renders
In recent years, badly influenced by design and the beautifully crafted pages I previously shared in my Notion resources, I’ve become increasingly detail-oriented. I enjoy when things feel polished and intentional, which naturally led me into the world of rendering. After seeing many inspiring…
- The next two years
Over the next two years, my UX skills steadily evolved. Alongside this, I immersed myself in frontend development, learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. As I explored websites from different industries, I became increasingly drawn to those that were not only visually appealing, but thoughtfully…
- UX - Beginnings
These were my first steps as design began to catch my attention in mid-2020. This was my first design, created using a tool called Lunacy - https://icons8.com/lunacy -. Looking back, its exciting to see it was the beginning of a process I genuinely enjoyed starting. Although I must admit It took me…
