ME

Less is more • Product.UX/UI Designer guiding experience decisions for complex digital products and services
Focused on clarity and impact, I connect user insight, product thinking, and visual logic to turn complexity into coherence.

My experience spans banking, fintech, venture capital, and creative consulting, with collaborations including Google, Facebook Reality Labs, ZOZO NEXT, BAC LATAM, and TD Bank US.

I currently design at Publicis Global Delivery, supporting TD Bank initiatives focused on simplifying complex systems and making digital banking more human. My work often lives in the in-between—bridging research and interface, intent and execution—to turn ideas into usable products.

Alongside this role, I take on a limited number of independent projects, partnering with teams that need help untangling complex products, defining clear experience structures, or establishing strong UX foundations.
