Senior product design execution for fast-moving companies.

I've designed products across fintech, SaaS, marketplaces, for 11 years. I work with companies who need production-ready design without the meeting overhead.

What's slowing you down?

Most companies I work with are dealing with one or more of these.

Lack of speed

Your Q1 roadmap is slipping to Q2 because design can't keep up.

Inconsistent product

You're adding designers, but quality is dropping due to inconsistency.

Skills mismatch

Previous designers deliver good pixels but zero product thinking.

Lack of ownership

You're paying for a designer, but doing the product thinking yourself.

Delivery friction

Hand-offs are nightmares. Designs have missing states and unclear specs.

Bad hiring options

Agencies are slow and expensive and bloated. Freelancers often inconsistent.

Here's what changes

Same design challenges. Different outcomes.

I'm Diego. I've designed for Venmo (70M+ users), Procore (10K+ customers), Shipt (300K+ shoppers) and delivered for 12 industries over my 11 years of experience. I believe great design requires deep product knowledge, not surface-level contract work. When working with me, I get to learn your product deeply, understand your constraints, and ship consistently.
