About me

I'm a senior product designer based in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I shape web and mobile products, from legal research tools to food-delivery operations.

I work end-to-end: research, wireframes, prototypes, and the design systems that make it all scale. I partner closely with product and engineering so ideas ship the way they were meant to.

I started in architecture drafting and taught myself design along the way. Then I studied graphic design. Everything since, from UX to product design, I taught myself.

Outside of product work, I paint, draw, play music, and build things by hand. That's where my care for structure and detail comes from. I bring it to every product I design.
