Who I am beyond Design?

Avid Runner and endurance athlete who loves to compete in marathons and triathlons.

Since my childhood, I was interested in all sorts of sports. Over time, running became my favorite sport. I discovered that the right techniques make running almost effortless and yield top results.

I grew up in Mexico and then in Germany. As a teenager, I moved to the United States. This cultural repertoire influences my worldview, supporting my talent for design. While relentlessly researching design projects, I discovered that many of those, although beautifully designed, lacked proper functionality. This passion led to my study of mechanical engineering and then user experience design for digital products & experiences.

What drives me

Outside of work, I find perspective and inspiration in the outdoors. Whether I’m running long trails, climbing mountains, or taking in fresh air at high altitudes, these moments of challenge and clarity fuel my creativity. As an avid runner and triathlete.

I have completed numerous marathons, trail runs, and Ironman events. Just as I climb to new heights in the mountains, I bring that same resilience, focus, and drive to my design work.

Looking ahead

I thrive on complex challenges. I am a strong problem solver who loves to communicate and bring clarity to the design process. I design for difficult, intricate problems with grit and perseverance, moving ideas forward until they become impactful solutions.

For me, it’s always about the user: their experience can make or break a product or service. My vision is to enrich lives by creating meaningful, well-crafted user experiences. I am also a lifelong learner, constantly sharpening my skills to become a more accomplished designer.
