About me

I am a first-generation Latin with a passion for human-centered design. I have eight years of experience transforming user experiences by navigating various UX maturity stages while advocating for user-centricity with user feedback, iterative design, and collaboration with cross-functional teams. I currently work remotely with teams across Fidelity Investments.

Originally from the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas, my professional introduction to UX manifested from graphic design roles stepping into research and visual design primarily within marketing and e-commerce.

I specialize in design systems and value proposition design to refine opportunities to collaborate with research, innovation, and content efforts.

I've collaborated with exceptional leaders across my journey and would not be where I am today without their leadership.

I have a graduate degree in user experience design and have developed an extensive understanding across specializations in product development. I am fluent in working under ambiguous constraints and aspire to continue to navigate with stakeholders to understand problem spaces for users and integrate a strategy to systems thinking with a human's first approach.
