Linguist in Conversational AI | Language Data Analyst | Conversation Designer
I’m a designer with a background in linguistics, currently working as a Conversational AI Designer at Replicant. I specialize in creating intuitive, user-centered digital experiences—whether through voice, chat, or content-driven interfaces.
I started out in academia, where I explored the psycholinguistic dynamics that shape human conversation. This foundation deeply informs my current work: translating complex language patterns into practical, human-centered design solutions.
Over the years, I’ve designed digital experiences for sectors like finance, healthcare, retail, and hospitality, and I’ve worked across a range of environments, from early-stage startups to large tech companies. My experience spans conversation design, content design, and product thinking, always with an eye on usability, clarity, and user needs.
As a Spanish–English bilingual and certified translator, I’ve also led multilingual design efforts, especially for the US and LATAM markets, making sure the user experience feels seamless no matter the language.
Outside of work, I enjoy writing blog posts that explore the intersection of language, tech, and design. When I’m not designing or writing, you’ll probably find me cooking, working out, or off exploring a new part of the world.
I’m always happy to connect with other folks in design and tech. Feel free to reach out!
