About

As a Senior Product Designer, UX Leader, and Creative Services Specialist, I bring over 20 years of hands-on experience in print, digital, interactive, and UX/UI design. Throughout my career, I have optimized user engagement for well-known brands such as Trilogy Education Services, edX, 2U, Netflix, Cognizant, Emeritus, Aprende, DriveX, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Continental Airlines, and Delta Air Lines. I take a strategic and scalable approach to design systems, fostering collaboration across diverse teams while delivering high-impact creative solutions. Known as a dynamic and collaborative team player, I thrive in deadline-driven, budget-conscious environments, managing high-volume, multi-brand projects that require both scalability and strategic thinking. Bilingual in English and Spanish, I possess strong written and verbal communication skills and an exceptional ability to quickly master new software and processes. My passion lies in mentoring diverse teams, driving user-centered design, and creating inclusive, data-informed experiences that resonate globally.
