I'm a Product Designer with over 5+ years of experience collaborating and leading design initiatives from discovery to implementation. I've worked in consultancy and agency environments, often as the sole designer on cross-functional teams - and just as comfortable as one of many. My approach is strategic and user-centered: I help teams turn vague ideas into actionable design outcomes that align with business goals.
I'm passionate about creating meaningful digital products, guiding design teams, and collaborating with stakeholders to bring clarity, impact, and execution. Looking to grow into Lead Product Designer roles where I can shape design culture and drive product strategy.
A cross-section of disciplines strategic, executional, and research-driven, shaped over 5+ years across consultancy and agency work.
Translating ambiguous business problems into actionable design outcomes. I help teams turn vague ideas into clarity, impact, and execution that align with business goals.
End-to-end product work, from discovery to implementation - paired with developer teams to ship interactions and prototypes that survive handoff intact.
Investigating users and existing applications to inform design decisions before reaching the stakeholders. Mixed-methods research that earns its place in the roadmap.
Scalable, accessible component libraries that bridge design and engineering.
ADA & WCAG-informed design. Accessibility isn't compliance, it's dignity, as a default.
Mentoring designers, shaping processes, and making space for everyone to do their best work.
Not a rigid process a set of principles I bring to every project, whatever the phase. The work shapes the method as much as the method shapes the work.
Briefs describe symptoms. I dig for the real problem with stakeholders before proposing anything turning a vague idea into a sharp, testable question.
Research lives next to design, not in a separate phase. Usability tests and A/B comparisons settle disagreements not the loudest voice in the room.
I think like a developer early. Platform limits Power BI, legacy systems, tight timelines, shape the design from day one, so nothing dies at handoff.
Every layout decision earns its place. I use visual hierarchy to make complex data feel navigable and credible clarity is the deliverable.
I treat the dev team as design partners daily pairing, a clean annotated handoff, and constant communication through launch and beyond.
Cases, not just screens. Each project documented from discovery through dev handoff.
Rolled 82 scattered economic indicators into 22 drivers, 5 determinants, and one clear score for funders and nonprofits, then validated the redesign in a 9-user test where the score-context fix resolved the #1 point of confusion.
Unified two disconnected websites into one accessible ecosystem, grounded in 17 user interviews and 7 personas, redesigned to WCAG 2.2 AA to serve everyone the organization exists to help.
Took a mandatory tourism tax from a paperwork process to a mobile flow under 3 minutes, shipping 4 core features and a full UI kit in a 4-week sprint.
Solo research-to-ship project turning camping-trip uncertainty into a guided discovery app, built on 2 validated personas and a 5-feature roadmap with a custom design system.
The best signal about a designer comes from the people sitting across the whiteboard. Quotes pulled from performance reviews and project feedback.
Distilled 11 disparate UI components down to just 3 streamlined versions, a powerhouse move that simplified the library while keeping visual cohesion rock-solid.
Developed the sensational design for Opportunity Compass 2.0, establishing a prototype with the potential for national expansion, significantly enhancing Deloitte's investment in this high-impact engagement.
Transitioned to being the sole design expert on the product build, handling both UX and UI - navigating complex challenges and presenting directly to client leadership.
Delivered high-quality designs on a very expedited timeline, then stepped up to the project lead role when the lead went on leave - managing design direction and the tech team.
Designed multiple complex components for a client's design system overhaul. When uncertain between options, talks through pros and cons before asking for strategic guidance - a quality greatly appreciated by leads.
Brings clear logic and structure to complex design problems, breaking down complicated questions into practical, well-reasoned solutions translating ideas into well-crafted deliverables.
Showed leadership across key pieces of Design Ops, with sharp attention to detail on opportunity areas, the kind of care that makes the work shine.
Advanced FIGMA skills to efficiently improve components within the design system, reviewing and refining them to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Looking to grow into Lead Product Designer roles where I can shape design culture and drive product strategy. Open to both in-house and agency environments fully remote or hybrid where there is room to mentor designers, partner closely with product and engineering, and own design decisions end to end.
5+ years collaborating and leading design initiatives from discovery to implementation, across consultancy and agency environments. I've often been the sole designer in cross-functional teams, which forced me to develop strong research, strategy and execution muscles in parallel.
Both. I've worked as both UI/UX Designer and UX Researcher across the product timeline, from sitting with users and auditing existing applications to wireframes, hi-fi UI, and prototypes. Research isn't a separate phase for me; it lives next to design decisions and shapes them in real time.
Hand in hand. I work closely with the dev team to deliver a clean handoff, interactions, prototypes, and daily pairing that turns unknowns into solved problems. I treat engineers as design partners, not implementers; the best ideas usually come out of those conversations.
Adapting and being in constant communication with the team and stakeholders is key. The TaxPayment App was shipped in 4 weeks - every design decision had to earn its place. Tight timelines force clarity: fewer rounds, sharper hypotheses, and earlier validation with whoever will use the work.
Based in Zapopan, Jalisco (Mexico) - Central Time, GMT-6. I work fully remote or hybrid, and I'm open to full-time roles as well as freelance and contract projects. The time-zone overlap with most of North America makes real-time collaboration easy.
