Staff Product Designer specializing in data-driven AI/ML and fintech experiences.
What I'm looking for
I am a product designer with 12 years of experience in user-centered design, system thinking, and cross-functional collaboration across the USA, Mexico, and Brazil.
I design end-to-end experiences and research-informed interfaces — from self-service data connectors and onboarding systems to large-scale fintech products like a card used by millions. I maintain design systems, create journey maps and user flows, and translate complex business problems into usable solutions.
I lead design rituals and mentor peers while partnering closely with engineering and product teams to iterate quickly, ensure accessibility, and drive measurable product improvements.
