About
Hi! I’m a product designer originally from South America, now calling Berlin home since 2002. With a career that’s taken me from startups to global corporations like Visa Europe and Telefónica, I specialize in crafting thoughtful, user-first designs. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me baking sourdough, solving puzzles in video games, jogging at the gym, or getting inspired by podcasts like No Stupid Questions and How I Built This.
