Profile

UI Designer specialized in design systems, focused on building scalable interfaces and bridging design with frontend implementation.

I bring a strong foundation in visual design and system thinking, combined with hands-on experience working with design tokens, component systems, and frontend technologies (React, JavaScript).

Recently, I’ve been designing and building systems that connect design to code - including token pipelines, design system tooling, and frontend-integrated workflows.

Based in Bogotá, collaborating globally.
