I'm a Senior Product Designer working on web applications, software, and websites since 2011, with experience in the German and Mexican markets, holding a Certified Scrum Product Owner title since 2017.
I've worked hybrid roles between Design and Product, and more recently, I have led engineering teams on end-to-end shipping of web apps and while gaining ample experience working with international teams in different agile setups (SCRUM, Kanban).

A product unicorn on the journey
Throughout the years, I've had many roles while being a team player in the companies I've worked with. I adapt to the role that is needed in the day-to-day. These experiences have increased my confidence to drive the complete creation cycle of a product, from concept, to UX, UI, and testing the implementation, which includes the development of information architecture and decision flows. I feel confident with these responsibilities in both roles:
As Product Designer
• UX: Wireframing | User journey maps | Persona creation | Design Workshops
• UI: Mock-ups for responsive and desktop | Functional prototypes
• Design Ops: Design systems creation and maintenance with and without CSS
• Audiovisual:Video production and post-production
Tech stack
Coding familiarity
HTML | CSS | React | Aurelia | Sublime Text | GitHub
As Product Manager
• Feature documentation in traditional format like PRDs or using Gherkin specs for Engineering
• Working in agile teams with Designers and Software Engineers. Familiar with SCRUM and Kanban WoWs
• Organising and moderating workshops for stakeholders to refine features
• Creation of roadmaps following OKRs or metrics established by the organization

Projects with meaning
I've had the pleasure to be a part of teams where scientific research, solar energy, and even ancient document preservation have been our center of attention and our daily bread. I solemnly believe that helping to create products that truly benefit people by improving their daily life and well-being is something I want to keep doing while I'm at this.
My short background in chemistry led me to develop a particular interest in Research & Development projects, where I've had the most impact over the years, but have slowly drifted to the renewable energies sector to amplify the sense of impact I want to continue having. In this sense, I am keen on collaborating with teams that have a similar aim as mine: to create projects that give us the daily fulfillment of doing something good.
Institutions which I've designed for
It's has been more than interesting and fulfilling to have the chance to design and launch products for different user types in several institutions such as:
• BAM - Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und Prüfung
• Boehringer-Ingelheim
• BIH - Berlin Institute of Health
• Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin
• LMU - Ludwigs-Maximilian-Universität München
• Max Planck Gesellschaft
• SmartLab at the Deutsche Messe
• Tecan
• Sociedad Mexicana de Geografía y Estadística
• Tribunal Superior de Justicia del Estado de México
