Visiting BOLD's India Offices
My wife and Max
I’m currently a Senior Product Designer at BOLD. There I lead UX for their main SaaS consumer facing product, a Resume Builder which helps 4+ million of job seekers create and tailor their resumes. Priot to that I focused on designed and prototying Retention and B2B solutions.
I've spent the last 8+ years across different surfaces of digital design — designing and building sites, products, digital campaigns with a variety of House teams, agencies, and freelance clients. Back then started designing sites in Illustrator and Dreamweaver, before Sketch or Figma. I also self-taught front-end basics and PHP to create custom cms templates for platforms like WordPress and Joomla.
I was introduced to UX Design while doing my minors in Industrial Design and taking product design classes (physical). I was amazed and eager to explore how both Industrial Design and the design for digital products share the same fundamentals of Human-Centered Design. That led me to move to New York summer to study Interaction Design at the School of Visual Arts.
After that, in 2016, I joined BOLD as a Product Designer in their Puerto Rico offices. I got to work directly with the San Francisco UX team and traveled back and forth between both offices. During that time, I worked with cross-functional teams, such as product, brand, research, analytics, and dev. I focused on both B2B products like their employer portals and B2C with their retention team.
In 2020, BOLD's core products team asked me to consult on a complex project and oversee the work of a few junior UX designers. From that, I got promoted to Senior Product Designer and focused on Bold's leading brands, where I currently lead a group of Ux designers on projects like onboarding, personalization, and optimizations.
When I'm not designing, I enjoy traveling with my wife, watching movies, reading fiction and self-improvement books, and playing fetch with our dog, Max.
I like to try different hobbies from time to time. So far, the ones that have stuck are playing around with automation and smart-home, doing DIYs around the house. I also enjoy collecting Legos, playing casual video games, anything Star Wars and Trading Card Games. Also, I used to play tennis, but now I mostly do weightlifting for fitness.
I was a guest in the design podcast Command Z. Listen to my episode:
I'm happy to finally be launching the V1 of this site. I'm currently working on the case studies so stay tuned! It was designed in Figma. Built and hosted in Webflow. I used Craft Docs to structure the content and Things 3 for the tasks and project management. The font is set to Manrope by Mikhail Sharanda.
