About

Hello, I’m Ricardo, a Product Lead Designer and Creative Director obsessed with the “how” and the “why.” I don’t just want to make things look pretty; I want to know how they work, who they are for, and how they will grow a business.

I sit comfortably at the table with designers, developers, and CMOs alike, translating their individual goals into a cohesive digital product.

My Core Pillars

  • UI/UX Design: It’s not art; it’s architecture. I focus on creating intuitive, accessible systems that guide users effortlessly. If the user has to think too hard, we’ve failed.
  • Development Strategy: I’m a designer who speaks code. I understand technical constraints and possibilities, ensuring that our wildest creative visions are actually shippable.
  • Integrated Marketing: A great product means nothing if the story doesn’t land. I align design and dev with marketing KPIs to ensure conversion is baked into the DNA of the project.

The “Off-Hours” Lab
My obsession with how things work doesn’t stop at the screen. My weekends are spent in two very different types of laboratories: the garage and the kitchen.

Whether I’m wrenching on a car or delicately balancing flavors in a complex dish, I am practicing patience, process, and an attention to detail. These hobbies keep me grounded in craftsmanship—a reminder that whether you are tuning a carburetor or fine-tuning a user flow, there are no shortcuts to quality.
