I'm part of a multidisciplinary team at Philips Healthcare's Innovation Hub, collaborating with designers, clinicians, researchers, and technologists to develop innovative patient monitoring solutions that deliver accurate, real-time data for safe, effective care. Previously, I worked on AI diagnostics to optimize radiology workflows, enhancing screening, diagnosis, and treatment processes.
Born in Bogotá, Colombia, and raised in the U.S., I’m fluent in English and Spanish. I earned a BFA in Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design, with a focus on Nature, Culture, and Sustainability Studies. My design philosophy emphasizes empathy, interdisciplinary collaboration, and creative problem solving, a perspective shaped by RISD’s strong craft and making principles.

Beyond work, I set fitness goals, including full and half Ironman triathlons, the 75 Hard Challenge, and CrossFit. Photography is a passion, and I love capturing stories through landscapes and portraits. I also built a social media business for my cat, amassing 462K+ followers. I live a minimalist, joyful lifestyle, constantly pursuing adventure and fulfillment in both work and life.
