What I Learned
About
I started where design is loud — events, brand activations, visual campaigns. I learned to turn strategy into something people could walk into, touch, and remember.
That instinct never left. It just evolved. Today it shapes how I approach screens, systems, and products: everything should feel intentional, clear, and a little bit alive.
I've designed across Uruguay, Ireland, Spain, Germany, and Austria — each place adding a new layer to how I think about people, context, and craft.
Product & UI/UX Designer
Product & UI/UX Designer from Uruguay, currently based in Austria, pursuing a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction.
I've designed everything from gaming events for 2,000 people to haptic Android apps to B2B design systems. The thread that connects it all? An obsession with making complex things feel simple, and simple things feel considered.

"I've never been the kind of designer who stays in one lane. I started in brand experiences and event design — big, physical, loud. Then I got curious about what happens on the other side of the screen."
What makes someone trust an interface? What makes a flow feel effortless? What makes a product feel human?
These are the questions I've been chasing ever since — through startups, agencies, and a Master's that gave me the language to back up the instinct I always had.

What drives me
The best interfaces aren't just usable — they have a point of view. I want every product I touch to feel like someone actually cared about the person using it.
I'm driven by the belief that good design isn't just problem-solving. It's an act of empathy, translated into something people can see, touch, and feel.
What I'm looking for
A Product or UI/UX design role where I can bring my visual background, HCI research, and cross-cultural perspective to a team building something that matters — ideally at the intersection of technology and human behaviour.
I thrive in collaborative, fast-moving environments where design is a driver, not a passenger.
"I see design as a way of translating life into experiences people can feel, use, and remember. Sometimes that becomes an interface, sometimes a product, sometimes a visual system — but for me it always starts with curiosity, intention, and the desire to create something meaningful."
