I am a Product Designer with eight years of experience in architecture. I’m a self-driven, detail-oriented individual with a passion for design challenges. My architecture background taught me the importance of being nimble, coordinating design visions into reality, and fostering clear communication.

Growing up in Honduras with a Cuban father and Nicaraguan mother has filled my life with stories, a genuine curiosity, and an appreciation for the diverse cultures that shape the human experience. As a result, I am a firm believer in the power of storytelling and its ability to enrich our perspectives.

I’m best known for maintaining a positive and proactive attitude throughout the highs and lows of a project

A Little Bit About Myself

From Architecture to UX

I've always been fascinated by the gap between ideal designs and real-world experiences. Discovering UX design, with its focus on testing and refining ideas for positive experiences, aligned my passion and career goals, leading to my decision to pivot from architecture.

As an architecture student, I encountered the harsh reality of a bad user experience, despite the initial promise of a great idea. This defining moment taught me the importance of context and empathy in creating successful designs, shaping my perspective on what truly defines design success.

Below is a brief narrative of this experience.
