Hola!
I am a designer with 12+ years of experience crafting experiences across mobile, desktop, Apple TV, smartwatches, and more. Fluent in three languages and shaped by living in five countries, I bring a global perspective to understanding how technology connects diverse cultures and communities.
With a background in Architecture and Graphic Design, I tackle challenges from multiple angles, balancing creativity and business objectives while mentoring and empowering the next generation of designers to thrive.
My mission is to create thoughtful and intuitive experiences that enhance everyday life for users. I scale design systems, foster cross-functional alignment, and drive high-level design strategies.
When I’m not making awesome designs, you’ll find me on the soccer field, hiking trails, or catching a flight to my next adventure.
Origin Story
Born in Colombia and having lived in five countries and five U.S. states has shaped my curiosity for how cultures think, communicate, and solve problems, fueling my passion for inclusive design and solving user needs.
Puzzles & Art
Puzzles, technology, and all forms of art have always been my happy places. From taking things apart to understand how they work (almost everything was reassembled), to exploring how people interact with the world, I've always been drawn to the blend of creativity with logic.
Foundations & Blueprints
Studying architecture was the perfect blend of art, technology, and problem-solving—teaching me to tackle challenges by blending creativity functionality to craft practical solutions for real-world needs.
The Pivot
After graduating, I worked at the Apple Store, helping customers navigate their software and hearing their struggles with interfaces. Their feedback ignited my passion for crafting intuitive digital designs, inspiring me to pivot into “digital architecture” aka: product design.
Ahead of the Curve
Earning a master’s in Technology Design before Material Design Guidelines existed—and when the Apple HIG felt like the wild west—placed me at the forefront of Product Design, blending my love for art, technology, and my architecture foundations of form and function.
The Work
A career across consulting, freelance, and in-house roles, I’ve gained a solid understanding of the full product design lifecycle and the skills to guide teams to success—whether working independently or leading the charge.
Present Times
Seeking Head of Design role where I can bring my big-picture thinking, craft impactful solutions, mentor amazing design teams, and align design strategies with business goals to fuel sustainable company and team growth.
