Designing digital products with real impact

I’m a UX/UI Designer working across web and mobile products, collaborating with startups and organizations. I focus on turning complex problems into clear, usable, and accessible experiences.

Mi enfoque

A practical, problem-solving process focused on clarity and usability.

I start by understanding the problem beyond the interface, identifying where friction exists—whether in content, structure, or visual decisions.

  • 1

    Understand the Problem

    Identify user needs and constraints to define the direction of the solution.

  • 2

    Simplify the Experience

    Transform complex information into clear, intuitive flows.

  • 3

    Design
    & Iterate

    Develop interfaces that prioritize key content and support ease of use.

How I Work

I combine analysis, judgment, and visual design to build clear and usable experiences.

Depending on the project, this may include:

  • Heuristic evaluations
  • Accessibility reviews (WCAG)
  • Information architecture and content organization
  • Flow and system definition
  • Usability testing
  • Interface design

Not all projects include user validation, so I rely on structured thinking and design principles to make informed decisions when context is limited.

Experience & Background

I have a background in design and a master’s degree focused on user experience.

My experience as an art director shapes how I approach design balancing usability with visual clarity and communication.

I’ve worked on:

  • Complex content platforms
  • Real-time digital products
  • Accessibility-focused projects
