What I'm looking for

I'm looking to take ideas from discovery to delivery with remote, multidisciplinary teams in fast-paced environments. I value ambiguous problems, continuous discovery, systems thinking, user-centered product decisions and AI-powered design workflows.

I've designed digital products and services for organizations including Visa, Santander, BBVA and Izipay at Raven, leading research, stakeholder interviews, insight synthesis and collaborative workshops to define product opportunities.

At Examedi, I co-founded the UX/UI practice and established design processes, standards and ways of working as the company scaled. I led research across B2B and B2C products and partnered with Product Managers and Engineers to turn insights into product decisions.

I've also led product design at Talana, expanded its Design System, and designed marketplace experiences at AgendaPro through continuous discovery, hypothesis validation and interactive prototyping.

I bring a product-and-brand mindset to marketplaces, fintech, healthtech and HR SaaS. I use Figma, Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor to accelerate research, ideation, documentation and prototype validation while creating cohesive, memorable experiences.
