Current Role

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 Communications, 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.

Design

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.

Development

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.

Product Management

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.

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.
