Product Design Engineer with 9 years closing the gap between design and production code. Figma token architecture to Backend For Frontend APIs.
I've been designing and building digital products for nine years. At Anansi, I joined when there was no design team, no component library, and two disconnected legacy applications. I inherited that landscape and left a design system the whole team uses, from Figma tokens to a shadcn component library; a single Next.js architecture with a BFF layer, built with the Product Manager and the backend team; and claims intake reduced from 14 steps to 5 clicks.
At IED Barcelona, I coordinate the AI & Prototyping Lab, teaching designers how to integrate AI tools into real workflows, not as a shortcut, but as a thinking partner. I also facilitated at CERN's IdeaSquare programme, working with cross-disciplinary teams from IED, UPC, and ESADE on speculative design challenges.
Through Taller Oliva, I develop and validate human-AI collaboration methodologies. Two intensive sessions, with support from the v0 team at Vercel. The approach: replace wireframing with functional prototypes for deeper, faster validation.
