Big-picture thinker, dedicated to craft, and delighted by new findings.
I’m a Costa Rican designer collaborating to make lives a bit easier everywhere.
Cool things I’ve done:
After organizing local WIADs and IxDDs, I co-chaired Interaction Latin America 2021, which ended up being the first 100% virtual version.
Started the Fjord studio in Costa Rica, and spoke at our last in-person Equinox.
Facilitated an in-person 2-days workshop with 120 participants - with plenty of help.
Had the honor of counseling 5 people in their journey to be promoted (1 twice!).
Mentored designers frequently, my last experience through Laboratoria.
Pitched in a public administration hackathon organized by IMF.
Spoken at Wordcamp and Drupal Camp. Participated in a panel in ILA19.
Been invited to a couple of podcasts (see below).
Wonderful people and places I’ve designed for:
Coffee farmers in Costa Rica.
Children and their teachers in Colombia.
Convenience store owners and young entrepreneurs in México.
Subway trackworkers, commercial airline pilots, and sports team fans/concertgoers, in the US.
People looking to buy engagement rings, makeup, and parts for heavy machinery; as well as people working to stock your supermarket shelves, and consultants understanding mergers & acquisitions data visually - around the globe.
