Welcome to Your Visual Code Where Data Tells a Story!

Hello there, I’m Yarisel Velacanto, a curious mind, a creative soul, and a data-driven problem solver.

My journey started when I took apart my first PC as a kid just to understand how it worked. That same curiosity now fuels my work at the crossroads of data, design, and storytelling. I bring together technical skill, empathy, and analytical thinking to make complex things clear, human, and impactful.

What I Do

With over eight years in IT, I’ve developed a skill set that spans support, UX/UI design, and Data Analytics.

  • As a Data Analyst, I uncover patterns and translate complexity into clarity.

  • As a UX Designer, I craft inclusive, accessible experiences that put people first.

  • As an IT Analyst, I connect the dots between data, systems, and user needs. I troubleshoot issues, spot patterns, and design thoughtful solutions that improve reliability and support better decisions.

What Inspires Me

I believe data tells a story, and it’s clearest when approached with empathy and intention. Whether I’m designing dashboards, mapping user journeys, or analyzing policy impact, I stay grounded in purpose.

Like my last name Velacanto, which means “singing candle,” I light the path with care, insight, and clarity. My goal is always the same: to build work that helps people feel seen, supported, and understood.

Unplugged: World Beyond Data & Design

When I’m not analyzing data or crafting user experiences, I lean into hobbies that fuel creativity, sharpen analytical thinking, and inspire the way I approach both design and strategy.

Traveling

Exploring new places challenges me to see beyond my own perspective. Just like working with diverse datasets, travel builds adaptability, awareness, and curiosity. These are key to strong data research and thoughtful design.

Gaming

Gaming blends storytelling, strategy, and psychology. From level design to player behavior, it’s shaped how I design experiences that feel intuitive, data-informed, and engaging.

Reading Books

Diving into a good book help me see the world through different lenses and sharpen how I analyze, find patterns, and tell meaningful stories. Whether in a dataset or a digital interface, I aim to guide users through clear, thoughtful experiences.

Unique Foods

Food is an experience, just like great design and data storytelling. Exploring diverse cuisines fuels how I combine data, design, and insight to create solutions that are both functional and engaging.

Creativity, analysis, and storytelling have always gone hand in hand for me. These hobbies inspire how I approach problem-solving across Data Analytics, IT, and UX, helping me design smarter and innovate with impact.
