Senior Product Designer · Design Systems & DesignOPS
Product Design and Design systems for complex, regulated products.
I design clear systems for complex products, using AI with judgment: as an ally, not a shortcut.
Remote-first · CET (Madrid)
I lead end-to-end product design and design systems for B2B, SaaS, fintech and healthcare teams — and I'm integrating AI as a deliberate design partner, not a shortcut.
2020 — 2025 · FIVE PROJECTS
Selected work.
Design System as Infrastructure
Leading the design system of a global healthcare platform
Led the Jello DS for 5 years as Design Systems Lead, then continued at OneDS as Specialist. Federated governance, locked semantic foundations, and a migration that shipped with zero rollbacks across 7 products.

The token system that anticipated multi-brand
A semantic token architecture built in 2021, before multi-brand was an industry standard. The same component, without touching a line of code, adapted to any brand.

PRACTICE · FOUR PRINCIPLES
How I work.
Strategy
Every engagement starts with understanding constraints — business, technical and human. I map the decision landscape before touching a wireframe.
Good strategy is visible in what you choose not to build as much as in what you do.
Outcome-first, not output-first.
Research
I run contextual research that surfaces real friction, not just stated preferences. Enterprise users can tell you what they do; they rarely can tell you why.
I synthesise findings into actionable insight, not just theme clusters.
Evidence before opinion.
Systems
A design system without adoption is just a Figma file. I build governance models, contribution pathways and documentation that keep systems alive as products scale.
The goal is coherence at velocity.
Human layer matters as much as the technical one.
AI as partner
I integrate AI into research synthesis, token audits and prototyping — with human judgment at every decision point. Not a shortcut. A deliberate tool.
Limitations are listed as prominently as results. Always.
Honest about what it can and cannot do.
