Bio

I'm a product designer based out of Fort Worth, Texas.

I have been creating simple, beautiful, and intuitive designs for complex problems since 2004. When I'm not busy pushing pixels, I enjoy cooking, traveling, watching futbol (soccer), or spending time with my wife and daughter.


I am a highly motivated and skilled designer who excels in tackling challenging situations. As an entrepreneur at heart, I am driven to use my design expertise to create delightful experiences for consumers and meet business objectives.

How I work

Step 1

Discovery & Research

To gain a deeper understanding of the problem, explore possible solutions, and get to know the customer.

Step 2

Principles

Crafting design principles to guide project and experience decisions and ensure team alignment.

Step 3

User Journey

Dive deep into understanding the user journey through their stories, personas, channels, and user decision-making.

Step 4

Design Exploration

Diverging widely and exploring a range of possible solutions, testing, iterating, discussing, and working through the problem.

Step 5

Design Refinement

Refining the chosen direction, polishing visual designs, preparing them for engineering handoff, and documenting decision-making.

Step 6

Handoff

I collaborate closely with the engineering and product teams to guarantee a smooth handover and successful implementation process.

Step 7

Monitoring

Just because a project is live, it doesn't mean the work is finished. We monitor its performance to uncover ideas for improvement.
