Design that turns real user signal into product_

Product designer and founder. For the better part of a decade I've built AI-native products end to end, owning design from zero, working shoulder to shoulder with engineers, and moving fast on tight build-measure-learn loops.

01 · About

My path to product design wasn't a straight line, and that's the point.

I studied design at Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne, taught it for years, ran my own studio, then led design across a global remote company before co-founding an AI startup and taking it to a CES Innovation Award. Today I work as a fractional CPO for startups across the US, Colombia, and Latin America.

The throughline is simple. Design, to me, is how you turn a real human signal, what someone feels, struggles with, and needs, into a product decision. I've spent the better part of two decades getting closer to that moment: first as a craftsman, then as a leader, and now as a founder who builds the tools and teams that make the signal arrive sooner. I own design from zero, I'm fluent working alongside engineers, and I use AI-assisted tooling to ship and learn faster than a traditional team. I move fast, set the standard, and make the call.
