work

01.

Pleo • Staff Product Designer

Employee Spend 2024 - Present

I own the flows employees actually touch: requests, approvals, reimbursements. Most of the real work is below the screen, in the approval logic and edge cases that decide whether any of it holds up. I take that from a rough problem to something that actually ships and actually works.

02.

Mercado Pago • UX Lead

Soon Checkout 2020 - 2024

Lead checkout end to end at Mercado Pago, 8 countries, 4 designers and 2 writers on the team. Shipped split payments and pushed adoption up 23%. Ran an installment experiment that grew usage 65%.

03.

Despegar • Senior UX Designer

Soon Cross-Selling 2020 - 2024

Owned cross-selling at Despegar. Built the logged-in areas that suggest the extra hotel night or the airport transfer, and made it feel personal instead of pushy. Moved items per trip and conversion.
