About me

I am a Senior Product Designer and Design Systems Specialist with over 13 years of experience creating digital products at the intersection of design, systems, and technology. My expertise lies in building scalable design systems and product experiences tailored for fast-paced SaaS environments. I take end-to-end ownership across strategy, discovery, UX research, implementation, and optimization to deliver impactful results.

Throughout my career, I have led cross-functional collaboration and mentored multidisciplinary teams, driving operational efficiency through scalable design practices. I have a strong background in defining and launching user-centric roadmaps that significantly improve engagement and usability. My work often involves aligning user needs with business goals and technical feasibility to create cohesive product strategies.

I have experience founding and scaling design systems from the ground up, creating unified design languages that reduce design-to-development time and improve consistency across multiple products. I am skilled in architecting token systems, component libraries, and contribution workflows to ensure brand consistency and scalability.

My professional journey includes working closely with engineering leadership to enhance collaboration between design and development teams, as well as mentoring designers, illustrators, and motion designers. I am passionate about establishing design review and handoff processes that are adopted organization-wide.

In addition to my design work, I have contributed to product strategy initiatives, including user research, SWOT analysis, JTBD mapping, MVP definition, and go-to-market planning. I have also been involved in teaching and mentorship roles at universities, delivering curriculum in typography, multimedia design, and professional practice, as well as coordinating academic programs and curriculum updates.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s Degree in Information Technology while continuing to expand my skills in UX design and user research. I am fluent in Spanish and have professional working proficiency in English, enabling me to work effectively in diverse and international environments.
