Work

Eight cases, seven industries.

I do not publish galleries of pretty screens. Each case says what was broken, what was decided and what happened next. Anything I cannot tell in full is not here.

Redesigning the Leal home screen

From an endless scroll with everything mixed together to an app with one mission: spend your cashback.

From a limited CRM to a Customer Data Platform

No name, no hierarchy and technology that would not scale. In three months we turned it into a four-module platform serving more than 300 merchants, from small businesses to accounts like Texaco.

Naming, identity, UX and design system

Ipso · Copy-trading · 2021

Why nobody made their first investment

Low activation rate: plenty of people signed up and never invested. The interviews showed they did not even realise they had to connect an exchange account.

Cenaudri · Retail · 2020

The digital transformation of 306 stores

Mexico's third largest retailer wanted to launch its e-commerce mid-pandemic, with four store formats and a different customer profile in every branch.

Digital strategy and experience

+ME · Education · 2020

A platform that works without the internet

An online education model from preschool to sixth grade for rural and vulnerable areas. Reggio Emilia as the pedagogical base, community instead of classroom, and accessibility tested with colour-blind and low-vision users.

Strategic and service design

BIG BANG · Service · 2020

An ice cream shop concept that can compete

350 uneven stores with no graphic consistency and no service standard. Field research across Mexico City ice cream shops to understand the whole ritual, from before buying to after eating.

Service design and concept

Bupa, Grupo Security and Consorcio · Design systems

Systems that outlive the team that built them

252 components, 392 primitive variables and 742 semantic ones at Bupa, with an AI-Ready workflow. 131 components and eleven business units aligned at Grupo Security. And at Consorcio, the integrated strategy that turned an intention into a plan with phases, team and budget.

Assessment, architecture, QA and adoption

Omnilife, OULALAB and Banco de Chile · Synthetic lab

Researching in days what used to take weeks

A sign-up and checkout journey evaluated with 80 synthetic users in 10 hours. A UX audit with a synthetic heatmap and 12 frictions resolved. And a loyalty foresight built on 26,000 consumers and nine sources, in three days.

Synthetic users for retail

500 simulations in 3 days on a payment flow with high abandonment. They revealed distrust of mobile methods; after validating with real people, the redesign moved conversion.
