Strategic UX Design & Research
About me

About me

I’m Luis Terán, a Venezuelan-born Industrial Designer from the Instituto de Diseño de Caracas. After four years in industrial design, I transitioned into web design, where I’ve worked for over 15 years.

I founded Ninweb.net, a design and app development studio, which introduced me to the world of UX/UI.

Post-pandemic, I pivoted fully into UX, Design Thinking, UX Research, and Product Design.
Over the past five years, I’ve worked remotely as a UX/UI Designer for companies like BairesDev, Wedevelop, BeezWax, and currently Ludicrum.tech, where I focus on UX Research.

My current focus is on research, experimentation, process design, methodologies, and Product Discovery.
