TravelPerk
Nov 2019 - Currently, Barcelona
Senior Product Design
I’m a Senior Designer at TravelPerk, where I’m leading the design work for a new native app for our travelers on the go, for both iOS and Android. I spend my days creating features that help travelers have a smooth journey, including organizational approaches, design systems, developer hand-off, and everything in-between.
As Designer for the mobile app, I conducted deep research, direct and indirect competitors to understand the uniqueness of the current product.
Based on the insights I gained through research, I created a Product Strategy and a Design Strategy together with the product manager.
I have worked intensively to improve communication between designers, focus on common goals, create appropriate rituals and channels, and distribute the system’s ownership among the entire team. And it’s giving us great results.

Senior Product Design
At letgo I lead the design of several Verticals, from monetization to payments and shipping. I was responsible for leading a series of innovation initiatives aimed at monetization and transforming how design operates in letgo.
I worked in collaboration with Project Managers, Tech Team and Marketing, building new features and improving the existing ones. I was responsible for the letgo design system implementation and adoption across teams.
On the other hand, I helped scale the design system, co-defining a building processes according to the changes that were taking place in the company: from the challenge and its evaluation criteria to the entire process.
The most significant challenge was to channel our efforts towards things that generated the most value in the medium-long term. For this, I had to educate, convince, and help the different stakeholders finally align with each other. That was key to be able to define together a strategy and goals for each new section.
