Product Designer, 5+ years

Barcelona, mostly

Most of my work happens in tools people don't get to choose. A hospital operator on her ninetieth call. An ops team with fourteen tabs open. Nobody screenshots these screens, they just live in them, eight hours a day.

That's the work I want. I'm good at sitting with the mess long enough to find the one structural decision that makes twelve screens simpler. I know my job is done when people just move through without getting stuck, when the design is invisible.

I got into this through industrial design, briefly torn between furniture and jewellery. I went the jewellery route, ended up running production as a silversmith and production manager, and eventually found UX because it's the same problem at a different scale: understanding how systems work, where they break, and how to fix them for the people inside them.

How i work

Start where it hurts.

I go find the workaround people already invented, the sticky note, the external notepad, the group chat. That's the real spec.

One pattern beats twenty screens.

I'd rather find the structural decision that makes the whole flow simpler than redesign each screen individually.

From the button copy to the whole flow.

I work the full range, the tiny detail and the big picture. That combination is where I do my best work.

Off screen

I spend a lot of time making things with my hands and baking is the main one. Cookies, cinnamon rolls, focaccias, brownies. It's the opposite of screen work in the best way: something physical, something you can hold, something that comes from the same place as jewellery-making and furniture and all the other things I've built over the years. I also travel whenever I can and I'm happiest when I'm trying something I haven't done before.
