Who's behind the newsletter

I'm Karla Fernandes.

I started UX/UI Hub in 2021 as a 22-hour app build, and I still run it myself: the app, the newsletter, and the live Hub Meet events. I curate every issue. Every subscriber came organically, with zero paid acquisition.

The Hub is built for aspiring and junior designers. Of the 302 members with an in-app profile, 82% are actively job searching. If you help designers learn, build a portfolio, or get hired, they're your audience.

Outside the Hub, I've spent 25+ years taking digital products from idea to launch: 300+ client projects and 20+ native apps, for teams like IDnow and Sportradar.

"Karla has a talent for finding subjects and speakers that just happen to be what I need."
