Hi, I’m Ernesto Jimenez Balza, a digital designer focused on UX/UI, brand identities, and product design. I’ve led the creative development of design systems and visuals for clients such as Inmobiliaria, Ven Billiards Corporation, and Your Trip Agency, crafting cohesive identities, websites, and social assets that reduce extra work for internal teams.
