Experiencing life, sometimes with a camera (Instagram, external).
I’ve been at this for 23 years, through every major shift in the craft: Flash, hand-written CSS, mobile-first, design systems, Figma, and now AI. The tools keep changing; the work of making complex things clear doesn’t.
Until August 2025 I led design at Huridocs. Before that, enterprise software for Fortune 500 companies across logistics, fintech and healthcare.
I’m hands-on, at my best in small teams where a prototype ships the same week the question comes up. And I build: the products here are designed and coded by me, front to back.
I speak Spanish, English and French. Off screen: getting lost in Latin American literature, or writing about my experiences.
What’s next?
