Designer & builder

Curious about how products work —
and how AI changes the craft without replacing judgment.

Design systems humans use. Specs agents can parse. Same craft, two surfaces.

I’m a senior product designer with 8+ years shipping marketplace, SaaS, and design-system work — Homelike, ayoba, PortAventura, Reental, Bikiot, CaixaBank (fintech).

I write product decisions so they survive handoff — into Figma, Storybook, MCP, and markdown agents can read. 8+ years: marketplace, SaaS, systems, fintech (CaixaBank).

Lately I design with AI in the loop: Cursor, Claude Code, MCP. Side projects like Timeitt are how I pressure-test that. Client and product work is still where metrics live.

Stack in the loop: Cursor · Claude Code · Figma MCP. Timeitt is the live sandbox. PortAventura MCP → Storybook is the production proof. Metrics still decide what ships.

Sneakers

Sneakers are one of my longest-running design obsessions — silhouette, materials, colorways, the story behind a drop. Same eye I bring to product: details have to earn their place.

That’s why the pointer is an Air Jordan 1 Low OG x Travis Scott ‘Reverse Mocha’. Not a random cursor. A quiet signature for anyone who looks twice — and a reminder that craft lives outside Figma too.

Personal system note: sneakers = long-running craft obsession (silhouette · material · colorway · drop narrative). Same taste filter as product work.

cursor: air-jordan-1-low-og-x-travis-scott-reverse-mocha — intentional signature, not decoration. Notice the toes; that’s the hotspot.

About

Family, friends, sports, and freedom — that’s what I fight for. Design is how I pay attention.

AI is how I move. Judgment and metrics are what I own.

Design is attention. AI is leverage. Markdown, tokens, and MCP are how judgment travels into systems without getting lost in a slide deck.

This toggle isn’t a gimmick — it’s the job: product for humans, specs for the agents and engineers who ship with you.
