Design leadership and mentorship to empower innovation

Over the last two decades, I built a career as a design leader acting in several areas:

  • Designer crafting meaningful experiences

  • Coach guiding and nurturing talent

  • Mentor fostering growth in UX and Design Systems

  • Public Speaker sharing insights globally

  • Writer exploring diverse narratives

  • Podcaster hosting engaging discussions

  • Diversity Advocate championing inclusive design

Experience in innovation

Currently, a Senior Product Designer at Atlassian, where I contribute to pioneering projects that redefine user experiences.

But my journey didn't start there – I've left my mark at global giants like Shopify in Canada, where I spearheaded the development of the Shopify Fulfilment Network, and Booking.com in the Netherlands, where I shaped mobile web experiences, apps, and the post-booking and Genius Experience.

Mentorship & Engagement

Beyond my corporate roles, I'm committed to mentorship as a guiding force for Dribbble's Scaling Design Systems course, Springboard and Careerfoundry, training the next generation of UX and product designers. Additionally, I host the Latinxs Who Design Podcast and curate captivating content on the Multimichel Youtube channel.

Inclusive by design

As a writer and public speaker, I've traversed the globe, sharing my insights and ideas at prestigious conferences and in various publications, including Medium.

Engage with my latest discussions, where I explore design inclusivity and societal influence with design experts like Jay Demetillo, known for his rich experience across major tech hubs.
