Professional Journey

Evolving through digital design and user experience

My Professional Growth

Design, Technology, and the Human Experience

My career began with a degree in Information Design — a blend of Graphic and Industrial Design that shaped how I think about form, function, and interaction, reinforced by a background in fine arts that deepened my understanding of composition, precision, and expression.

In its early stage, I worked across graphic, editorial, and art direction, refining my sense of visual storytelling. As the web took shape in the late '90s, I transitioned into digital design, completing an Advanced Program in Web Design and Development in 2005 — a step that connected creativity with code and grounded my work in how interfaces are built.

With the emergence of mobile and responsive design around 2008 — driven by the launch of Apple's first iPhone — I became fascinated by how people interact with digital systems, translating principles from industrial design into Human Interface Design (HID). Since then, my focus has been on creating experiences that balance usability, accessibility, and aesthetics, helping organizations bridge innovation with real human needs.

Today, as AI, machine learning, IoT, and soon quantum computing reshape our world, design itself is expanding. Multiple generations now interact with technologies spanning decades, redefining how we connect with products and systems — and opening new frontiers of experience we're only beginning to imagine, as humanity looks again toward Mars and beyond 🚀.
