Product Designer

+ PRODUCER

More than 5 years designing, since I started as graphic designer at marketing agencies back in 2018.

Nowadays, I became Product Designer after passed through startups like Platzi (YC), and innovative projects in the blockchain. My passion for minimal aesthetic, nostalgia triggers, and eye-catching brands shines through in my work.

I'm on the cutting edge of no-code and AI tools that allow me to bring my creative visions to life. I thrive on finding not only fresh creativity but creative solutions, and believe that with the right perspective, design can elevate the human experience.

With the click of a shutter, an image is imprinted that tells a story or makes a statement. I make sure the story looks nice… usually with my wife telling people how to pose while I'm doing it.

VIDEO PRODUCTION

I love films since I have memory, editing videos were one of my first jobs back in high school. So I developed professional production skills, in all stages, to keep that part of me alive.

Figma

Design Tool

Well. You have to know Figma, right? It could be almost a sin if you do not see this on my stack as product designer.

Great collaborative web application (because nobody uses the desktop app) for almost any kind of design project.


And prototypes are great, even if devs ignore them.

Adobe Creative SUITE

The SWIZA of all “Full Stack” Creative. At least mine.


I use Adobe's workflow for motion graphics, basic 3D, photography, video editing, exporting… and of course that I support myself on Illustrator when I need some real power with vectors.

FRAMER

Web design platform

I had use low-code website builder tools like the titan WordPress and Webflow. But I find Framer the more designer-aligned one and I love it.


This website is made with Framer, by the way.

Ipad - IPHONE - MACBOOK

For me, Apple is the most powerful hardware available for my job.

You will never see me with a gaming PC, for that I have my PS5.

I admire and appreciate Apple's design, User Experience (even with their mistakes), their safety and their performance.

Well, now that I just mentioned it, it could be good to know where I play when I play something… right?

If we reached to work together, you already know that we could role-play at Baldur's Gate III anytime.
