A BIT ABOUT ME
Designer. Problem solver.
Always learning.
Boston-born, Puerto Rico-raised, and a former chess champion turned Product Designer. I approach design much like chess—understanding behavior, anticipating what comes next, and solving complex problems with intention.
With a background in advertising and 7+ years in product design, I’ve learned that great experiences go far beyond making things look good. I’m fascinated by the psychology behind how people interact with technology and use research, design thinking, and strategy to uncover real user needs and turn them into intuitive, meaningful products that also drive business impact.
