I'm a product designer at Philips Healthcare's Innovation Hub, where I collaborate with clinicians, researchers, engineers, and fellow designers to create patient monitoring solutions that enable safer, more informed clinical care through real-time data. My work focuses on transforming complex clinical workflows into intuitive digital experiences that improve patient care and empower healthcare professionals. Previously, I designed AI-powered diagnostic tools that streamlined radiology workflows and supported earlier, more accurate clinical decision-making.
Born in Bogotá, Colombia, and raised in the United States, I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I earned a BFA in Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where I also studied Nature, Culture, and Sustainability. My approach to design is grounded in empathy, systems thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration, an approach shaped by RISD's emphasis on craftsmanship, curiosity, and making.
Outside of work, I'm driven by curiosity and a commitment to continuous growth. I've completed multiple full (140.6) and half (70.3) Ironman triathlons and am currently training for my first 110 km ultramarathon, embracing challenges that demand resilience, discipline, and long-term consistency.
I also maintain a daily Vipassana meditation practice after completing a 10-day silent retreat consisting of more than 100 hours of intensive meditation. The experience strengthened my ability to sustain focus, remain present under pressure, and approach both my work and life with greater clarity.
Photography has been a lifelong passion, giving me the opportunity to tell stories through landscapes, portraits, and the people and places I encounter while traveling. Outside of design, I also built a community of more than 450,000 followers around my orange cat; a creative passion project that sharpened my skills in storytelling, branding, content strategy, and audience engagement at scale.
