Christian Escala

I am a UI/UX + Visual Designer with a strong understanding of the user-centered design process, specializing in web, mobile and app design. I believe the best design solutions are the ones tailored to the end-users based on a clear understanding of who the users are; this is the key to create great products and experiences. I place significant emphasis on strategic user research and usability testing, in order to find the sweet spot between business goals and user needs.

Proving to be highly skilled, detail oriented and with a can-do attitude designer, I consistently deliver high quality work. Currently, I work as an Interactive Designer for NBC Sports Group. In the past, I have worked with clients such as, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NBCUniversal, NYC Health and Hospitals, The City University of New York, as well as several others. 

I am pursuing a Master of Science in User Experience Design at Pratt Institute, and hold a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Design from The City College of New York and an Associate in Multimedia Programming and Design from Borough of Manhattan Community College, having attained honors with each degree.
