Frontend developer and UX/UI product designer with 7+ years building attractive, user-centered interfaces.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a frontend developer and UX/UI product designer with over seven years of experience creating attractive, functional, and responsive interfaces for web and email. I combine visual design, prototyping, and front-end implementation skills—using tools like Figma, React, Next.js, HTML/CSS, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud—to deliver polished user experiences.
I've worked remotely for international teams including Universal Orlando Resorts, Sinapsis, IMERGI, and E-partner, contributing to design systems, email campaigns, e-commerce sites, and component-driven front-end code. My background spans product design, motion graphics, WordPress development, and API integration.
I am English-proficient (B2), open to international opportunities, and focused on roles where I can apply product-thinking, front-end development, and collaborative design to drive measurable results.
