About me

As a kid, I told my mom I'd spend my life in jungles studying ancient ceramic pots. That archaeological curiosity never left—it just found a different dig site. Now, instead of excavating the past, I design for the future, uncovering patterns in how people work, live, and care for themselves.

My journey has taken me from Mexico to The Netherlands to the US, and each place taught me something essential: Mexico gave me the warmth to see people first, The Netherlands taught me systems thinking and directness, and the US showed me how to scale impact. These aren't just places I've lived—they're lenses through which I see design challenges. Today, I'm still that curious kid looking for patterns and connections—I just traded ceramic shards for user behaviors, ancient tools for emerging tech, and the adventure of traveling expeditions for the equally wild terrain of transforming how organizations and people serve and interact with each other.

What drives me: Building bridges between what technology and people can do and what people actually need. And yes, just full force of curiosity—just now it's assumptions, not artifacts.
