About Me
HELLO! I'm Renzo,
I was born in the capital of Lima, Peru. and since I was little I have been passionate about art. Drawing manga for my school friends and making plasticine sculptures were my beginnings, and although art and creativity always ran through my veins, it was not until I was 22 that I discovered my true calling...design! Let me explain: I come from a reserved family of lawyers and administrators so a creative career was not in my possibilities (they wouldn't let me) and I was forced to choose a more “administrative” career or in the words of my father, “a career with a future” but by dialoguing and good debating, I was able to convince and pursue a career in Advertising.
During my studies, I took some design courses that allowed me to learn the basics and get my first job as a Jr. Graphic Designer at Brain, a tiny agency (but with a lot of passion) focused mainly on BTL activations development and corporate/promotional events.
Sometime later I found myself needing a paid job, so a year later I started my second job as a Digital Designer at La Bodega Creativa where I began to make my first web designs (simple Illustrator format) and digital brand. After 2 years I would receive a job proposal at Banco Financiero as an Internal Communication Assistant. It was there that I had the opportunity to manage my first projects and make decisions regarding design (internal digital/print),
While working at the bank I started freelancing as a brand and web designer, also i took a couple of online design courses. I wanted to work entirely on websites and apps so a little over a year later I left my position at the bank for a UX/UI Designer role at Dreizack Studios. There I meet and worked closely with other professionals in the field, helped me understood the “agency environment and rhythm” further and I was able to be part of diverse processes from start to finish.
2 years passed until I decided to leave my job to travel around Europe. Best trip of my life.
Upon returning I worked mainly as a UI Designer at Henry Barrett and also as a freelancer with different agencies and companies such as McCann (Chile), Certara (Germany), among others and I had the opportunity to lead a team for the first time on projects for PeruApps as Lead UX /UI.
Since 2021 I have been working as Principal UI Designer at Venon Solutions (USA) - where I am in charge of creating, updating, and maintaining the design of an internal/external application (SaaS) focused on information security and document management.
I am a happy person, a little shy and quiet, very persevering, detail-oriented, and with clear objectives. I love football and music, I play guitar and rap in the shower.
