Hi Martin and OpenStore!...

About Me

I am a Miami and New York based user experience designer with expertise in building digital experiences for some of culture's favorite brands. My background is in motion graphics and experience strategy.

I started my career in fashion e-commerce, where I was curious about the relationship between offline and online shopping experiences. Recently I have been building products in ecommerce, creator economy, and fintech. Some of the brands I have worked with include Chanel, Calvin Klein, Canada Goose, GameStop, Tory Burch, Night Labs (Mr. Beast), Genies, and Hermès.

My Experience

Most recently, I was the Lead Product Designer at Emcee Studios, a social commerce platform for up-and-coming creators (Gen Z) and small brands to monetize content. During my time there, I was the design lead on the creator experience and innovation team.

Company Impact and responsibilities:

Design system
- Built and managed emcee's first design system (tailwind.css, Storybook, Figma [dark mode, tokens, variables, components...])
- Redesign of UI library and implementation cross-platform

Innovation team
- Weekly product strategy proposals to leadership
- Rapidly prototyped northstar ideas

Previously, I was a Product Design Consultant at Vouch, a stealth company out of Austin, Texas. Vouch is a job platform and applicant tracking system for the creator economy and Gen Z, backed by 776 and Night Labs (Mr. Beast).

I was Lead Product Designer at Genies, a Web3 social metaverse company. I managed the design team and experience strategy of The Warehouse, an NFT wearables ecommerce marketplace for Gen Z and Creators. In my tenure, I worked on projects such as Search, IP Rights, Checkout (Dapper Wallet + Flow), and Waiting Room.

I worked at Fast Checkout, leading the design for the Creators team as Sr. Product Designer. I built a 0-1 marketing affiliate platform for creators to help earn commission with Fast.

I was Design Lead at Publicis Sapient, working on the Calvin Klein and GameStop account. I managed a team of two designers, and advised the client on the experience strategy.

My full experience can be seen on my 🔗 Linkedin.

My wide range of skills and projects (ecommerce, design systems, experience strategy) is what makes me an excellent candidate for OpenStore.

Life outside of work...

I am a mental health advocate, design mentor, daily affirmation enthusiast, runner, and techno lover.

I love giving back to the design community through mentorship and participation in events. Most recently, I was the UX Design Judge for York University's hackathon. I also do lectures at Brainstation, where I give students (especially those who are switching careers) a real glimpse of what it's like being a user experience designer... everyday challenges and all :).
