ABOUT

I design interfaces where clarity matters most: financial data, public services and tools for people who aren't tech-fluent. I started in creative agencies as a multidisciplinary graphic designer, which is why I care as much about craft as about structure.

For the last 7 years I have designed digital products for US-based companies, including ETF platforms such as Simplify and WisdomTree, and mission-driven nonprofits through Squeaky. I work with product managers, engineers and leadership to turn open-ended problems into designs that ship and get tested. I'm based in Madrid and looking for senior product design roles with complex, high-stakes workflows. Off screen, you'll find me on the tennis court.
