Justo Yanez

My name is Justo Yanez; my pronouns are he, him, his, él. I am currently in the UX Design track at Springboard and work as an Assistant Principal of Instruction at Idea Public School Victory College Prep in Tampa, Florida. As a bilingual man of color, born to immigrant parents, I am the proof that with perseverance and support, one is limitless. Through adversity, I’ve been fortunate enough to gain valuable skills such as perseverance, and resilience that have made me a more empathetic and analytical person that works to build relationships and solve problems. As a collaborative, relationship leader I lead through connections that leave people I serve seen, heard, and valued. As a naturally creative person with an eye for inclusivity I look for ways that are both inclusive and accessible when it comes to design, whether it’s for a tangible item or a complex system. Through empathy interviews and data analysis, I look for viable, holistic data that is rooted in sustainable change and implementation.
