Product Designer

I'm Marcelo, a Product Designer originally from Ecuador, now based in Southern California with over 10 years of experience specializing in visual and UI/UX design. I thrive on creating intuitive, user-centered digital experiences, constantly expanding my skills to deliver comprehensive product solutions.

Throughout my career, I've collaborated with notable organizations like PIH Health, MemorialCare, and American Honda Motors, along with various startups around the world as a Lead Designer.

When not immersed in design, you’ll probably find me enjoying great coffee, exploring the outdoors, appreciating art, or catching a soccer match.
