A little more about me

I am a passionate graphic designer, and entrepreneur for more than 8 years.

In my time working at fast-paced companies and startups, I have learned that time optimization and adaptability are extremely important. I have learned to be like the mad hatter in Alice in Wonderland, always changing places to get different points of view, getting involved in every aspect of the product, from strategy, business, and testing to craft an eye-catching design that is aligned with both the needs of the company and the final user.

In 2012, I got my bachelor's degree in Graphic design. Since then, I have been working for different companies across the United States, Mexico, and Sweden ranging from UX/UI design, marketing, and video content creation. I find meaning in creating products that help people learn, move, and do things in their everyday life, so I constantly strive to improve my skills and keeping up with the latest trends. Taking into consideration the business side of the project, as well as the emotional and human aspects of it.

In 2016 and 2019, I have been lucky to be part of the 500 Startups Mexico and the Nordic Health Tech Talents Denmark acceleration programs, with these experiences, I have been part of the development of products from its first stages until launching them to the market. I also acquired soft skills like leadership, proactiveness, and a better understanding of the design role in a company.
