About me

I solve problems

Hey there! I’m all about solving problems—whether it’s figuring out user issues, tackling design challenges, or addressing business hurdles. My approach is rooted in simplicity, building strong relationships, and co-creating products that make a real impact.

I’ve been in the design world for over 15 years, working as a UX designer, UX Lead, and spending the last 4 years focused on Design Systems. My journey has taught me that delivering exceptional experiences starts with truly understanding and caring about your users 💚

I’m here to help you unlock your product’s potential and ensure your business delivers real value to its users!

Currently, I lead the Canadian Design System at Manulife. My job is to make sure our libraries meet the needs of our business and internal users. I’m passionate about supporting designers, guiding them in their design system needs, and fostering a collaborative environment.

Work Experience

Over the years, I’ve built a solid foundation in UX Leadership and Design Systems. In 2018 & 2019 I led the UX team for the Sales and Onboarding division at Scotiabank Colombia, where I managed a talented team of seven designers. I’ve also contributed to the Design Systems team at Scotiabank and now oversee the Canadian Design System at Manulife 🇨🇦.

I’m always excited to discuss new opportunities and collaborations. Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn or download my resume for the full story.
