    paper End-to-End Fintech: Digital Onboarding for 50k Users

    Overview:
    Working for one of the most important banks in Chile, I was in charge of this project, helping to obtain more than 50k new users with a new digital account.

    A successful product for the bank that changed how the bank and the design team design it.

    Approach:
    From the first idea, through stakeholder workshops, to research with users. UX and UI, improving the project with service design.

    Designing with Figma and growing the design system.

    paper Global Logistics Platform

    Overview:
    Legacy operations were stifled by high cognitive load: users juggled 5 disparate windows and performed manual Excel updates just to complete a single shipment. My goal was to transform 4 disconnected tools into 1 unified platform. The result is a centralized SaaS that reduces operational friction, cutting average task time by 90% (from 60 to 8 minutes) for users across 15 global plants.

    Approach:
    I applied System Thinking and OOUX (Object-Oriented UX) to map the complex relationships between 200+ user roles and logistical data. Moving beyond traditional flows, I utilized AI-accelerated workflows to rapidly prototype and validate complex logic. This allowed me to deliver a scalable, modular architecture that simplifies decision-making without sacrificing the data density required by expert users.
