## About

```text
At Workana, I’m designing the marketplace experience for clients and freelancers and leading the creation and implementation of a new design system. I’m also driving UX initiatives from discovery and user flows through final design.

At Mercado Libre, I led product design across Mercado Pago, Mercado Envíos, and Marketplace, working with teams across LATAM, the United States, and China. My work included a delivery model that reached more than 3,000 active delivery cells across Mexico and Chile, reducing shipping costs by 30%, and a new address experience that increased form conversion by 9.5 percentage points.
