First, I love to have fun and enjoy life! I have an amazing wife and daughter that bring me all the joy in life. 👨👩👧
As an experienced designer, I possess a wealth of knowledge in various areas of design, including design thinking, lean startup, agile methodologies, and creative problem-solving. I am proud to have co-founded Emerald Digital Entertainment, a game studio where I led the development of mobile games. My tenure at Bancolombia's Innovation Center further expanded my expertise in human-centered design, while my current role as UX/UI design lead at Nequi has allowed me to apply my skills to create intuitive and simple user interfaces.

I learned and applied various design methodologies such as: Design Thinking, Service Design, etc. To find and explore solution for real problems.
I've applied this role on various projects. Lately I've helped on Nequi with the Debit Card and other products.
I've been working on user interfaces ranging from games to neo banks. I also have a Plugin I made with my brother that helps developers to design their own UI easily on Unity.
Video game enthusiast. I created with my brother several video games for fun. We won an entrepreneurship program with EAFIT University.
Born in Bogotá-Colombia , raised in Medellín-Colombia. During this time is where I grew up with Nintendo, SNES and N64 games. My father had a computer store in Medellín and that’s where I played many PC games with my brother Rodrigo when we were kids.
Moved to the United States with my family to learn English. We first arrived at Manassas-Virginia, where I went to high school for 2 years. Then we moved to Clearwater-Florida, and I finished my High School diploma at Countryside High School.
Went to St. Petersburg College to study graphic design. I got my A.S. degree in Print design in 2007. During this time is when I bought my first guitar (a Fender American Strat).
My family and I came back to Medellín. I went to college to complete my B.A. in Graphic design. I got my degree at Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in 2014. Since 2013 my brother and I co-created a game group in which we have created 2 games (Meteorz and FSCA). We have also published a game called Bump Bump Bump. We are working now on new projects and have created an asset for unity.
This is when I first started on Colombia's biggest bank Bancolombia at the innovation department. This is where I felt in love with the methodologies and used them to find real user pains. I learned about design thinking, service design, Lean Startup, and others.
Even though I loved creating stuff from scratch, I felt it was time for me to start designing again and I got a job as a Lead UI Designer at Nequi (Which is a digital bank made by Bancolombia). My major accomplishment here was to create the new Design System and Icons in collaboration with the design team. I also got to be the PO (PO/UX/UI) at the time of the new app launch.
