/ what I do

I turn complexity into clarity.

Four years shipping B2B products in insurance, finance, and decision-support platforms. I work at the intersection of research, interface design, and engineering alignment — building systems that scale without breaking and documentation that developers actually open. Most recently, I worked on UX for Economatica, a financial analysis platform used by institutional investors across Latin America.

01

Systems

Design systems built to survive scale — not just a style guide, but a shared language between design and engineering. Recent work: +40% component reuse at Economatica.

02

Flows

Critical decision flows redrawn with engineers in the room. The goal is always the same: fewer screens, clearer actions, faster outcomes. Recent work: +20% decision-flow efficiency at Economatica.

03

Handoff

Specs that answer the question before it's asked. Annotations, tokens, edge cases — everything a developer needs to implement without a second meeting. Recent work: −4 days per sprint at Economatica.

/ selected work

Five problems worth solving.

Five cases, picked because the problem was real, the context was messy, and the design work had to make decisions clearer.

    Design for scale: evolving a B2B insurance platform without breaking it

    A Salesforce-integrated broker platform that needed to grow fast. Two years of component system work, cross-functional alignment, and a design language that could survive three product teams pulling in different directions.

    2023·MAG Seguros·UX Designer

    A documentation system that made handoff quiet

    Engineers were opening Figma files and still having questions. We fixed that — structured specs, annotated components, and a delivery format that removed the back-and-forth before it started.

    Using AI as a creative accelerator — not a replacement

    A weekend experiment testing ChatGPT and Midjourney as tools in a logo design process. The question wasn't whether AI could generate something usable — it can. The question was: at what point does the designer stop designing?

    Mobile-first redesign of an insurance sales app for hundreds of brokers

    Cleaner navigation, modern iOS patterns, and a flow rebuilt around how brokers actually sell — not how the system was originally structured.

A short track record.

Four-plus years of product design, almost entirely inside B2B platforms where the wrong click costs money.

/ off the clock

Designer. Researcher. Occasional game designer.

A decade learning that design is not only pixels — it is systems, relationships, evidence. Salesforce taught me strategy. Pairing with engineers taught me to communicate. Seeing real broker impact taught me to care about details.

My master’s research on AI in design shapes how I think about tooling, augmentation, and where the designer’s judgment still matters most.

I write about design systems and developer handoff when I have something worth saying.
