Senior UX & product designer.Nine years makingcomplex softwareeasier to use.
I designed the education platform for ERAS Cardiac, a medical
nonprofit. I've also been a founder and a Director of Product, so my design work
starts with the product decision: what's worth building, and in what order.

ERAS Cardiac is a nonprofit that helps cardiac surgery teams adopt enhanced
recovery practices. Its members, the clinicians who care for cardiac surgery
patients, learn through the Virtual Education Centre: a searchable library of
modules with videos, presentations, PDFs and protocols.
ERAS Cardiac was my client from 2018 to 2025. I did all of the design work: the
wireframes, every screen, and the design system that kept the platform
consistent as the library grew. I worked with my development team from the
first wireframe through launch, and we built and shipped it together.
Once it was established, I led the audit of the business value it was
delivering, and ran the research behind it: interviews and surveys with members
to find where the platform got in their way.

Blurb makes content for record labels at scale: visualizers, lyric videos,
translated lyric videos, and comment videos, all of it headed for YouTube
where the catalogue earns. When I joined, making any of it meant going through
engineering. There was no dashboard and no interface, for the team or for
clients.
I built the internal dashboard the team runs on. One of the most interesting
problems was comment videos. A track can carry thousands of YouTube comments,
and only a handful belong on screen. I designed the system that decides which
ones make the cut, what order they run in, and how long each one holds the
screen, along with the review flow the team uses to make the final call before
anything ships. I interviewed the team before designing it, and ran usability
tests with them as it came together, so it fit how they already worked.
Engineering was in the loop on every piece of content when I arrived, and
on 20% of it by the time I left, freeing the rest of their time to build
the platform instead of producing deliverables. The dashboard lets the design
team click a few buttons and produce the rest themselves. My time went into
product requirements, Figma design work, and the roadmap I built with
engineering.
Workhouse NYC
$11k first month·~10 hrs/month back·live in 4 weeks
Workhouse is a coworking space in New York City. Every booking ran through
email and a spreadsheet, with someone checking a calendar by hand, quoting a
rate, chasing payment.
I helped them replace it with a self-serve platform. Users select a meeting
room and either drag across the hours they want or book the entire day. They
pay on the spot, the booking lands on the meeting room's existing calendar,
and they can cancel directly from the confirmation email.
It was live in under four weeks. In the first month it took
$11,000 in bookings and gave the team back about ten
hours a month.
“We went from a slow, manual booking process to a platform driving real revenue every month.”

Interfaces I've designed
Moments of Good Design
Short stories about everyday details that make things feel more human.
I founded Worksimply , a proptech startup, an Airbnb for on-demand workspaces.
Four years of cold emailing prospects, collecting rejection emails from investors,
driving to locations to do photo shoots, and debugging the app at 11pm when it went
down. Companies like 7shifts, Bettermode, Tempo, and Cognota booked workspace
for their teams through us.
Before that I ran a design and development studio and grew it to five people. From
2018 to 2025 I was also the design partner for ERAS Cardiac, designing and
launching their education platform with my team.
After Worksimply I ran product at Blurb , a startup working with some of the world's largest record
labels. Along the way I mentored three people who changed careers and became UX
designers.
I grew up in Monterrey, Mexico, and moved to Canada with my family when I was 18. My mother
is Japanese, which gave me an early grounding in a culture built around mindfulness and
simplicity, values I still bring into my work every day.
Chances are I'm on a tennis court right now.
Something I remind myself of
“I must create a system or be enslaved by another man's. I will not reason and compare;
my business is to create.”
