Thanks for stopping by. If you’re looking for a designer to join your team or just want to chat UX, let’s connect!

My Story

My path into design hasn’t been linear, and that’s shaped how I work. Before UX, I spent over a decade in operations and leadership, managing teams and navigating complex systems. That experience gave me a strong business mindset and a deep appreciation for how design decisions impact real people.

I formally transitioned into UX through General Assembly and grew quickly in collaborative, fast-paced environments where learning, iteration, and mentorship were core to the work. Since then, I’ve led end-to-end product design across complex problem spaces, partnering closely with product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders to bring clarity to ambiguity and ship meaningful solutions.

I’m especially drawn to work rooted in purpose—health, wellness, and social impact. Through both in-house and freelance work with mission-driven teams, I’ve expanded my practice to include strategy and brand thinking, while staying grounded in UX fundamentals.

At the heart of my work is a belief that great products come from aligned, supported teams. I bring curiosity, care, and a collaborative spirit into everything I design, because when people thrive, products do too.

There is more to life than work.

These are a few of my favorite things…

Travel

I’ve been to Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, and Slovakia; Mexico, Belize, Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia! As we say in Puerto Rico, “no me invites, que yo voy” (don’t invite me, because I’ll go) 😁 The world is an amazing place. I am always up for exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people.

Puerto Rico

Ok, so you may be thinking that this should be under travel but this little piece of the world deserves its own space on my page. I am the go-to trip planner for family, friends, friends of friends, or any stranger I overhear on the street talking about a visit. I love everything about my Islita, and am always excited to share travel tips in the hopes that you will fall in love with it as well. Now that you’ve read this, let’s plan your visit!

Volunteer Work

I’m a volunteer UX subject matter expert with SCORE, the nation’s largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors, dedicated to helping small businesses get off the ground, grow and achieve their goals. It is incredibly rewarding to share my knowledge with entrepreneurs, introducing them to the value of UX for their business no matter the stage, no matter the size.

I worked with The Fugees during their 2005 European tour. Yep, that explains a lot of my European travel. The backup singers choreographed a special dance that they’d do on stage at every show as an inside joke for me! When we came back to the U.S., I worked with Wyclef and Shakira for MTV’s TRL “Hips Don’t Lie” show. Such good times!
