About me
I'm a multidisciplinary designer currently working at Banco Falabella based in Santiago, Chile. My current role involves product and design operations encompassing maintenance and evolution of our design system, research process, documentation and AI tooling.
I believe that things can always be simpler and more joyful than we think. If you're working on similar challenges, or just love design and tech I'd love to chat.
