With over 13 years of experience in the design and marketing industries, I am a UX Designer deeply committed to developing user-centric designs that foster community engagement and drive positive impact.
I am a Senior Product Designer at mobileLIVE Inc., where I've had the privilege of working on the user experience of internal and front-facing proprietary software & web apps for TELUS Corporation, CIBC, Simplii Financial, and Logistics Alliance. My contributions include User Research, Design Thinking, A/B Testing, Focus Groups, Design Systems creation & integration, Information Architecture, UI Design, Prototyping, Agile iterations, Web Accessibility, Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration, and much more.
As the digital landscape evolves, I keep an open mind and stay up-to-date with the latest trends and methodologies. I can easily adapt to a company's existing working style (i.e. Waterfall or Agile), and can also promote, improve, and teach best practices.
As a designer, I constantly explore the intersection of aesthetics and functionality. Leveraging the latest UX design trends, I craft designs that are not just visually stunning, but also accessible and intuitive. My toolkit includes industry-leading software like Figma, Adobe XD, Photoshop, Illustrator, Miro, and certain Mac or Microsoft Tools, giving me true creative freedom.
In order to bring my designs to life, I use basic coding languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and more specialized ones such as PHP, Liquid, React, Flutter, Gemini AI, among others. Knowing how to develop my own interfaces has given me the ability of working and communicating well with developers, software engineers, and QA professionals. I also make use of reliable apps or frameworks such as Shopify or Webflow in order to speed up my own flows, which in turn allows me to test things much quicker.
Throughout my career, I have taken ownership of brand new projects from beginning to end, as well as projects and products that were ready to be updated or modernized. Those experiences have made me a reliable leader who can quickly pivot and thrive on guiding projects from idea conception to final completion. I love collaborating with diverse teams and clients around the world. My management style fosters creativity, innovation and efficiency, which is what today's digital landscape demands.
Figma has become an essential part of my design process, revolutionizing collaboration and feedback. Its compatibility with the latest design trends, and even olderSketch files, makes it an indispensable tool in my agile workflow. I have learned all new features including Dev mode.
Adobe XD's rapid evolution since its Beta Version in 2016 has made it a must-have for designers. Its clean interface and powerful prototyping capabilities, including motion design, have set a new industry standard.
Webflow's innovative Designer interface has reshaped web building, capturing significant market share and rekindling my passion for web design and development. This tool has help me built websites and design systems from scratch.
This is my favourite tools when it comes to spontaneous ideation or concept development. Ever since the image of the pope with the puffy jacket I have developed an interest in this amazing Artificial Intelligence tool.
Sketch has redefined the UI design market, and its compatibility with various prototyping programs has empowered me to master tools like Adobe XD, Figma, Marvel, and older projects such as InVision & InVision Studio.
Shopify's user-friendly approach to e-commerce and its programming language, Liquid, enable me to create globally resonant online stores, reflecting the latest trends in e-commerce design.
In a data-driven world, tools like Google Analytics and Google Ads are vital for understanding user behavior and optimizing advertising strategies, aligning with the latest marketing trends.
WordPress's adaptability and extensive plugin marketplace, including favourites like Elementor and Udesly, continue to make it a versatile and relevant tool for building diverse websites.
Carlos's design skills are second to none. He gives and takes insightful design critiques and has tackled extremely complex design problems in our enterprise software, making the user journeys simple and a joy to use, with beautiful designs, pixel perfect attention to detail and exemplary documentation.
I worked with Carlos supporting TELUS agent desktop design. I always paused to hear his feedback as his insight is almost on-point. If it's not a comment to an eventual solution, it's insight to rethink the proposed design.
Carlos was absolutely amazing to work with. He was able to easily communicate complex development concepts to us and execute them without any issues. On top of that, he is very personable and easy to talk to.
Thank you so much for your hard work, creativity, and positive energy. It was a pleasure working with you. He's genuinely passionate about using user experience to get the best results.
