What I'm looking for

Remote Product Design / UX Design Job with a focus on Strategy and UX Research.

As a highly proactive professional, I believe that the role of a UX designer extends beyond serving customers; it also involves improving the work environment and addressing challenges faced by peers. Known for being structured and creative, I enjoy designing and leading fun workshops to foster collaboration, team alignment, and problem-solving. I have also designed frameworks and tools, and I create documentation that becomes practical, easy-to-use resources for teams—sometimes even in the form of stories that help spread knowledge across the company. This approach helps equalize the team’s knowledge base, smooth communication, and improve processes, making them more efficient and seamless.

Beyond my professional expertise, I am deeply committed to supporting the growth of younger generations through a mentorship framework I developed, as well as to fostering healthy communities at work. At Guiabolso, I co-founded Diversity Committees to make workplaces more inclusive and led initiatives to enhance employee well-being. At JustEatTakeaway, I organized programs such as e-coffees, game sessions, and buddy systems during COVID-19 to support new international employees, reduce feelings of loneliness among expats, and strengthen overall connections within the company.

Currently, I am actively exploring how storytelling, arts, gamification, and emerging technologies such as AI, Extended Reality, and Web 3.0 can be combined to design highly immersive and engaging educational experiences. Through my research studio LEFREAK! and SAMAMBA, I aim to expand minds and inspire new ways of learning for the future.
