Digital Product Designer | Ex Ford, Airbnb
I am a digital product designer and photographer. I believe Design is multi-disciplinary, people-centered, and experimental. My work combines UI/UX, product design, graphic design, branding, motion graphics, photography, and technology to drive comprehensive product strategies across diverse platforms. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working at companies like Airbnb and Ford, where I have contributed to multiple internal and external design projects that have reached thousands of people on a global scale. Through these experiences, I have witnessed the transformative power of design, which manifests in the creation of innovative content capable of driving social change at scale.

Ford Projects

Worked in several internal and external projects at Ford creating impact for its customers experience in and outside the vehicle.

Let's Talk Experiences - Airbnb Internal Program

Let’s Talk Experiences is a recurring series where hosts around the world can join members of the Airbnb team and top hosts from the community to deep-dive into topics related to their work as hosts. This program is translated in several languages, reaching hosts in a global scale. The visual rebranding takes inspiration from the exchange knowledge among hosts an the Airbnb team. We focus on creating an identity that is vibrant, connects people, and follows Airbnb’s design language system. A landing page promotes and invites all hosts to sign up for the series event. The photography production is also based on the rebranding, aligning equipment, selection, editing and posting to the visuals. See More
