I'm Fulvia Buonanno
Designer
based in Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸
Hi! I’m Fulvia 👋, a designer specializing in Design Systems 🎨, passionate about creating scalable and efficient design solutions that bring consistency and clarity to digital products.
With a strong background in UX/UI 💡 across different industries, I’ve spent the past few years helping teams build and evolve Design Systems ⚙️ that streamline workflows, improve collaboration 🤝, and bridge the gap between designers and developers. I love crafting reusable components, defining solid foundations, and making design more efficient and accessible 🚀.
Beyond my day-to-day work, I enjoy mentoring other designers 🎓 and recently started public speaking 🎤 to share insights on Design Systems, accessibility, and design operations. Being part of the design community has always inspired me, and I love giving back whenever I can.
When I’m not deep in design, you’ll probably find me drawing ✏️, writing 📖, taking photos 📸, gaming 🎮, or playing the guitar 🎶. But above all, I cherish time with my family and friends ❤️!
