Born and raised in Lima, Peru. UX designer. Industrial engineer. I am Asian. I am also Latino. The DIY punk scene shaped my youth — probably responsible for the person I am today. I loved tech since I was a kid. Still do. Early exposure to tech in the 2000s sparked my passion for HCI and GUIs. Did not know the proper terms back then.

Hands-on experience during my engineering studies gave me the language and the framework. I properly learned about “Design Thinking”. I started working at a start-up studio as a self-taught Product Designer before moving to the United States to pursue a BFA in User Experience Design at SCAD — a program developed in partnership with Google. Since then, I’ve worked across digital and physical spaces, always pushing for research-driven, user-centered outcomes.

Coming from an Engineering background... I’m a systems thinker. I map complex user flows. I streamline experiences. I blend systems thinking with a user-first mindset.

As Sir Jony said:

“True simplicity is derived from so much more than just the absence of clutter and ornamentation. It’s about bringing order to complexity.”

Chaos is order... I embrace uncertainty. I embrace ambiguity. Move fast. Prototype fast. “Fail fast, fail often” they say. Iterate toward better solutions. I wake up every day excited about the future.

This is a visual journey of all the experiences that have shaped me into the designer I am today:

OUTSIDE OF UX I love music. More than music — the community around it. I used to write articles about music. Then started a collective. We published press articles, interviews, podcasts, launched listening parties, and more. I had my own radio podcast on Spotify. Mainly for F&F. Then, made guest appearances on global stations like dublab and NTS Radio. Started my own shows at my college radio station.

I like exploring the history of music — how media and technology have shaped every era of promotion and discovery. We take a lot for granted now. Before Photoshop… before the internet… how did people discover music back then? I love that feeling of discovery. Still do.
