Head of UX and Design at Breakerbox

I come from a Colombian/Cuban family, but I was born and raised in the United States. As a result, I am fluent in Spanish, and through schooling plus living abroad I became proficient in French. Coming from a diverse background has opened my eyes to many perspectives, which I believe gives me an advantage when designing digital touch-points. I am constantly pushing myself to learn new skills and putting myself out there on a variety of projects to better understand the world as a whole and how people move within it. I am a planner, doer, and thinker, and because of my ability to relate, I am able to implement those learnings into user-focused designs.
