Gabriela Lucía Nesheim
Bio
Gabriela Lucía (or "Lela") is a UX Designer with a strong belief in the power of community, collaboration, curiosity, and accessibility. With these values in mind, Gabriela is always looking for opportunities to bring people from all walks of life and experience levels together to connect and discuss the things they're passionate about.✨
Gabriela is currently a Teaching Assistant/Instructor for Hack the Gap's UX and Digital Marketing 2025 cohort, as well as a freelance UX and Digital Designer. But in their free time, you can find them writing stories, playing Dungeons & Dragons, watching campy horror movies, hanging out with sloths at the zoo, and singing in their band (or to their cats😻).
