Designer | Mentor | User advocate | Color enthusiast
-
My journey in design began in Colombia and has evolved over a career spanning more than a decade in the United States. I credit my love for color, typography, and design to my origins, further nurtured through half a lifetime of diverse experiences.
Over the years, I have grown from a visual and print designer into a versatile digital design professional, expanding my expertise to encompass user experience (UX) and research. This evolution was fostered by collaborations with exceptional designers and clients on a wide array of projects, including intranets, healthcare and government applications, and mobile apps.
While visual design remains my core passion, I find fulfillment in mentorship, sharing insights, and advocating for the importance of intentional design at every project stage.
-
My design approach focuses on creating intuitive, scalable, and visually polished experiences by balancing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints. I prioritize research and usability testing to validate decisions, while leveraging design systems and component libraries to ensure consistency and efficiency across complex products. I work closely with product managers and engineers throughout the process, from strategy and discovery through implementation, to translate complex requirements into clear, user-centered solutions that drive measurable results.

Over a decade I’ve had the priviledge of working with many clients, major telecommunication companies, airlines, eCommerce, Supply chain, major beverage companies as well as in-house retail solutions like self-checkout and Point of sale.
Process
-

Purpose
Every project begins with a clear purpose. I start by identifying why I’m designing and who I am designing for. This clarity anchors all decisions throughout the process.
-

Research
I evaluate how users currently engage with the product, explore how others in the industry approach similar challenges, and determine the most effective strategy based on best practices and insights.
-

User Experience (UX)
I define user journeys and flows, assess technical constraints, and align with design guidelines and requirements to ensure the experience is intuitive, feasible, and user‑centered.
-

User Interface (UI)
I create wireframes, iterate through testing, and develop high‑fidelity designs. I update the design system, build new components when necessary, conduct QA, and prepare all final deliverables.
What about AI?
I leverage AI to streamline workflows—from requirements and briefs to templates, components, and presentations—enhancing both speed and consistency across the design process.
