About

I use design thinking as a guide to identify problems, adapt to different domains, and create solutions that work.

What ties everything I do together is resilience, curiosity, and the drive to grow. No matter where I am or what I'm working on, I approach each challenge with openness, a willingness to learn, and the confidence that I'll figure it out.

Fashion → UX → Coffee → AI

Working principle

Understand the system. Find the bottleneck. Build the solution.

[ 01 ] Fashion New York

Creative foundations

I studied marketing at FIT and started in fashion. Styling and design internships, runway shows, ad campaigns, editorial shoots, and a stint as a Fashion Assistant at GQ. It gave me a disciplined eye and taught me to move fast on teams that ship on deadline.

[ 02 ] UX Research Chicago

Formal training

Back in Chicago, I studied UX Design at DePaul and worked as a UX researcher, turning interviews and observation into clear findings. After graduating, I carried those habits into customer-experience work at Ignite, applying research to real operations.

[ 03 ] Operations Pitalito, CO

Colombia

I moved to Colombia and went into the coffee industry. I ran farm operations, crews, harvest schedules, and lot readiness, then learned the buyer side, offers and logistics. The UX habit came with me. I sketched simple tools for the problems I kept seeing in the field, records, contractors, offers.

[ 04 ] AI Present

Now

I'm building Cosmo, an AI operating system for venues. I came up through AI evaluation and red teaming, so I've seen how these systems fail. Now I'm building one that doesn't. I also take on client work: web design and AI consulting.

Closing perspective

Every step of my journey has made me a more thoughtful leader. I've learned to approach problems with empathy, adapt to new challenges, and bring structure to my work. I carry all of it into what I build now.
