My perspective
I grew up in a small village in Costa Rica. It taught me to value clarity, adapt to constraints, and focus on what matters most.
Moving to Canada and learning new languages taught me to adapt quickly and make sense of unfamiliar problems. That mindset still shapes how I work.
Before design, I worked in hospitality and insurance while teaching myself UI/UX. It taught me to work through ambiguity and design for real people.

How I work
1
Align teams early around the problem, direction, and tradeoffs.

Create clear product paths from messy workflows, constraints, and decisions.

My story
I grew up in a small village in Costa Rica. It shaped how I think about constraints, clarity, and what matters most.
Growing up close to nature taught me how environments shape behavior. It is why I care about making products feel clear, calm, and easy to use.
Later, I moved to Canada, learned two new languages, and got my first PC. That shaped how I adapt quickly and solve unfamiliar problems.
