That gap between design and function? That's where I work.
— turning complex industry challenges into strategy-led, emotionally resonant design that technology alone can't replicate.
- 01
Discovery
Understand the constraint landscape before touching a frame. Stakeholder alignment, workflow audits, compliance review context, and existing system inventory.
- Constraint map
- Defined scope
- Agreed success criteria
- 02
Structure
IA, user flows, and wireframes stress-tested for edge cases before any visual design. This is where most projects avoid expensive late-stage rework.
- Validated flows
- Annotated wireframes
- Edge case coverage
- 03
Design
High-fidelity UI aligned to brand and accessibility standards. Every state covered — loading, empty, error, disabled — with interaction specs for engineering.
- Production-ready UI
- Design system components
- Accessibility notes
- 04
Handoff & QA
Developer handoff with full specs, not just Figma links. Active QA partnership to catch defects before release — not after.
- Dev-ready specs
- Reduced revision loops
- Pre-release defect reduction
About
Good design tells a story. Great design tells a legacy — I'm Antonio — available as a fractional design partner for startups and tech teams that need senior-level thinking without the overhead of a full-time hire. Twelve years of experience bringing strategy, empathy, and craft to healthcare, data, and SaaS. In a world where AI can generate, I provide what it can't: judgment, intuition, and human-centered thinking that distinguishes a product that works from one that connects.
My journey into UX/UI design began with self-taught graphic design experience during my engineering studies. Over the years, I've worked with clients ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, honing skills in strategizing, wireframing, rapid prototyping for validation, and standard design practices. I collaborate with engineers and developers to create conceptual, value-driven presentations for stakeholders and executives.
A fan of King of the Hill, Psych, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Matlock. I enjoy bright-colored shoes, shooting hoops, playing Battlefront 2 and cherishing family. On a mission to solve visual problems and strategize brand experiences for users accessing apps or websites, while creating innovative, futuristic concepts (at least in thought).
I don't just design for industries —
