What I'm looking for

I seek a senior/product design role where I can improve product quality, scale design systems, mentor designers, and use AI to boost team efficiency.

I am a Senior Product Designer specializing in mobile and web products, translating research and product requirements into clear UX and high-fidelity UI solutions. I prioritize accessibility, scalable design systems, and smooth developer handoffs to ensure quality implementation.

I have led cross-platform redesigns and large-scale mobile banking work, partnering closely with product and engineering to balance user needs, technical constraints, and business goals. My recent experience includes improving workflows and documentation through AI tools across distributed teams.

Throughout my career I have owned end-to-end design execution, created responsive UI kits, and produced interactive prototypes to validate direction and support stakeholder decisions. I have mentored designers, supported hiring, and contributed to LATAM-wide initiatives to integrate AI into daily design practice.

I bring strong facilitation, collaboration, and client-management skills, with hands-on experience in Figma, prototyping tools, accessibility practices, and basic front-end (HTML/CSS). I seek roles where I can drive product quality, scale design systems, and mentor teams while continuing to improve process efficiency with AI.
