About me

Originally from Ecuador, now living in Canada.

I'm a product and UX designer; with over 12 years of combined experience in the service provider, e-commerce, marketplace, logistics, freight transportation and video game industry.

I specialize in systems design, AI design, product strategy, user research, behavioural design, end-to-end craft, data-driven experimentation and game design.

I'm passionate about creating experiences that engage, move, and inspire. Proactive in the pursuit of inclusivity in digital products.

Outside of work, you can find me spinning records or dancing at a house or techno music event. 🎧🕺
