Human-Centered Design. Typography Snob. UX/UI Nerd. Strategic Leadership. Team Builder. Based in Portland, OR
I lead with strategy and design with heart. From bold brand worlds to intuitive digital experiences, I obsess over how things look, move, and make people feel. I’ve built teams, directed big ideas, and still love rolling up my sleeves to design the work myself.
I'm skilled at scaling design systems, elevating brand storytelling, and driving user-centered experiences (digital and in the real world) that deliver measurable business impact. With deep B2B and B2C expertise, I thrive at the intersection of design, product, and engineering, aligning organizations around a clear vision. I inspire teams to think boldly and create transformative ideas that resonate with users and markets alike, while building cultures where creativity, respect, and risk-taking fuel growth. I am also infinitely curious about how to integrate AI tools into the creative process and evolving creative work into the future.
Currently accepting new projects for 2026 🎉. Reach out here or on Linkedin.

HOBBIES & INTERESTS
Puerto Rican by birth, curious adventurer by nature. I’m endlessly drawn to stories—whether they unfold in epic fantasy realms, anime battles, or a perfectly cast commercial. Outside the office, I feed my inner child with real-world quests: exploring new cities one bite at a time, getting happily lost in forests, dancing to old-school salsa, or hunting down the next odd little print to add to my ever-growing art collection (it’s not hoarding if it’s curated!). I believe great ideas come from staying wide-eyed, a little weird, and wildly open to inspiration.
