A Mexican immigrant who grew up aspiring to be like Walt Disney, creating 🪄 experiences for people everywhere.
My career is driven by a fascination with immersive experiences, a concept I first discovered watching the meticulous, collaborative artistry behind classic Disney animation. This insight has fueled my passion for creating seamless, impactful design.
I've been fortunate to design and scale groundbreaking products at global companies like Amazon, TikTok, Walmart, and Uber. This multidisciplinary journey has involved building end-to-end solutions that resonate deeply with consumers and drive significant business impact.
