Father.
Musician. Outdoor Enthusiast.

A bit about my journey.

I'm a design leader with over 10 years of experience focusing on interactive user experiences, design systems, and branding. My goal is to envision how people experience products and bring that vision to life by collaborating cross-functionally to create user-centered, intuitive, and accessible products.

I also enjoy thinking about ways to create a healthy and inclusive team culture. Born in Bogota, Colombia, and raised in sunny South Florida, I spent some time in California where I fell in love with the West Coast and became a father.

Outside of work, I enjoy jamming to my electric bass, working out, or doing something outdoors with my family. I'm always down to chat, so please reach out.
