About

Hola! I am an inquisitive product designer with a multidisciplinary mindset. At heart, I am a technology enthusiast and a creative programmer who enjoys exploring the intersections of art, science, and innovation, merging design with movement, sound, and interaction.

Driven by a passion for continuous learning, I leverage my multidisciplinary background to transform complexity into intuitive user experiences. My experience ranges from leading teams in remote and on-site environments to collaborating on the development of high-impact digital products and services in the green technology and decentralized finance sectors.

I am an optimist who believes that everything can be improved with a deep understanding of how things work. That's why I believe interdisciplinary collaboration and a service-oriented approach are key to connecting technical complexity with human needs.

This spirit has led me to develop skills that combine design, art, and programming, and I have presented my work at the MNBA, MAC, Espacio Fundación Telefónica, Demo Festival, Neo Shibuya TV, BID, and the LAD Awards. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge by organizing community workshops.

Most recently, I contributed to building the digital services of green tech startup Lemu.
