UX Designer with a Research Mindset

Hello there! I'm Arcadia Calimano, a product designer who blends curiosity, empathy, and thoughtful insights into every experience I create.

I first dove into psychology to better understand people and what makes people click. That same curiosity now guides how I design, bringing together intentionality, intuition, and a love for the small details that make experiences feel just right.

Growing up with Irish and Puerto Rican roots taught me to see the world from many different angles. That perspective fuels my drive to create inclusive experiences that resonate with people.


Outside of design, I love exploring new places, taking too many photos, and hanging out with my two cats (usually with a cup of Barry’s tea in hand).
