My design career started before I knew it was one. As a teenager, I was customising MySpace layouts — chasing pixel-perfect spacing and wondering why some interfaces just felt right. That early obsession grew into 9+ years bridging UX research, visual design, interaction design, and front-end engineering across AI-powered healthcare, fintech, e-commerce, and enterprise SaaS.

Today I'm a Senior Product Designer who codes. I design end-to-end — from user research and information architecture through high-fidelity Figma prototypes to Vue.js component delivery — and I close the gap between design intent and what actually ships. Based in northern Mexico, I work fluidly with US and LATAM teams in English and Spanish, bringing senior-level strategic thinking and zero hiring friction to product teams that need to move fast.

My Approach

I combine analytical thinking with empathy — using research and rapid prototyping to uncover insights, validate decisions, and deliver outcomes that hold up in the real world. Whether I'm redesigning a clinical AI dashboard that contributed to a 30% reduction in patient Length-of-Stay, or architecting a design system adopted as the single source of truth across 10+ applications, my goal is always the same: clarity, consistency, and impact.

I hold a Stanford certification in AI Product Design and have designed for AI/ML systems in live clinical environments. Beyond client work, I create AI prompt toolkits for UX designers and researchers — published on Gumroad — translating the complexity of working with large language models into practical, accessible tools for the design community.

What I’m best at

• Design Systems & Scalable UX — so that multiple product teams can ship consistently without starting from scratch every sprint.
• AI/ML Product Interfaces — so that clinicians, analysts, and everyday users can trust and act on AI outputs without being overwhelmed.
• Human-Centered UX Research — so that design decisions are grounded in real user behaviour, not assumptions.
• Front-End Collaboration (Vue.js, HTML/CSS) — so that what's designed actually ships, without losing fidelity in the handoff.

 

Beyond Work

Outside of design, you'll likely find me travelling, photographing architecture, watching Champions League matches, or recharging at rock concerts. Creativity doesn't just come from screens — it comes from experiencing the world. Architecture taught me to see structure and flow. Music taught me that rhythm matters in interfaces too.

Let’s collaborate on work that matters. Reach out below—I’d love to connect.
