I'm Carlos—a product-driven designer, tech minded & very team player. I work to understand user problems and design workflows, interactions, and visual interfaces.
I partner with engineering, product, and business folks to find elegant but practical solutions—focused on AI, systems, and shipping work that scales.
1 Product-first: clear problems, pragmatic tradeoffs, and outcomes worth measuring.
2 Curious about AI—explore fast, prototype, test, ship, and learn in the loop.
3 Systems thinking—patterns, components, and UI that scale without losing clarity.
4 Design to scale with the product—and the small delights that make it memorable.

Before you hand your design system to an agent
Pattern by pattern, force every implicit design rule into words — then measure whether an agent actually follows them.
The Human Creativity Benchmark
A framework for evaluating AI in creative work that treats evaluator disagreement as signal, not noise.
The Learning Loop
The gap between attempt and correction is where expertise lives. That's what AI can actually compress.
Playground
Side projects and experiments from the past few years.
