About Me

 

Experience & Focus

With a strategic focus on digital product design, UX/UI, branding, and marketing, I have over 20 years of experience working with companies in technology, education, healthcare, and blockchain across Europe, the U.S., and Latin America. From emerging startups to established companies, I’ve led projects that integrate visual identity, user-centered design, and consistent storytelling across channels and platforms.

Collaborations & Leadership

I've collaborated with brands such as Yamaha, Televisa, Xumo, Word on Fire, Eat Club, Neebo, Attendee, Engage Healthy, and EthicHub—an award-winning Web3 platform focused on social impact—delivering solutions that connect design, business, and technology. I was also part of the founding team at EthicHub, contributing to its brand vision and product strategy from the ground up. I’m also the co-founder of Futurable, a speculative design agency, and Designosaurs, a design consulting brand, where we help businesses align design strategy with meaningful user experiences.

Capabilities & Approach

My expertise spans from research and concept development to execution, creating clear, inclusive, and scalable experiences for web, SaaS products, print materials, and marketing assets. I’m equally comfortable designing for digital interfaces, print communications, and forward-thinking innovation projects. I rely on data-based decisions to guide product growth and ensure strategic alignment between user needs and business goals.

Accessibility & Empathy

Since 2011, I have experienced accessibility challenges personally, which has strengthened my empathy and commitment to inclusive design. This perspective has deepened my focus on accessibility standards and tools, driving me to ensure that platforms and digital products are easily accessible to all users.

Teaching & Current Work

Additionally, I taught design for two years at Tecmilenio University in Mérida, Mexico. Currently, I work independently as a designer and consultant with my own clients, collaborate with global teams through Toptal, and lead several entrepreneurial projects.

 

Tools & Methods

With a background in design and visual communication, I combine tools like Figma, Adobe CC, and AI-enhanced systems to craft intuitive experiences that drive product value and business growth.
