I am a UX/UI designer and frontend developer. I have spent over ten years designing interfaces for international banks, fintech companies, insurance firms, and financial cooperatives across Latin America. Systems that handle millions of dollars. Screens seen by thousands of people every day.
I have worked at agencies, independent studios, and product teams. I have built websites from scratch, coded emails pixel by pixel, created complete design systems, and led the design of financial platforms where a single interface error can cost far more than a lost customer.
My specialty is interface design for financial services and integrating artificial intelligence into professional design workflows.
Why this blog exists
At some point along the way, artificial intelligence showed up and changed everything. I started using generative AI tools out of curiosity. Midjourney for images, ChatGPT for ideas, Claude for code and research, Gemini for specific tasks. What began as experimentation became an essential part of my daily workflow.
This blog is the record of that transformation. It is not a generic tutorial or a corporate guide. It is my real experience using these tools every day as a design professional. What works, what does not, what frustrates me, and what amazes me.
I write in Spanish, English, and Japanese. I publish every three days.

About this site
This blog is built entirely by hand. No WordPress, no templates, no frameworks. Pure PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS. I built it as a personal challenge and as proof of what can be achieved when a designer works alongside AI.
