Hello, I'm Omar
In summary, I'm a product designer from Mexico City, dedicated to improving lives through technology and innovative design. My work is fueled by my passion to help people embracing technology and my love for creating amazing products.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me, I look forward to get to know you too!
My focus
In 2 words, tech and people.
I strongly believe that technology should be as invisible as possible, working to enhance lives.
That’s why I majored in industrial design, where I was eager to create consumer electronics, but eventually found my way into UX & UI design and fall in love with it. That’s where I realized the lasting impact that I can have through technology and software.

My favorite things
Good design
I am a firm believer of Dieter Ram’s 10 rules for good design, and that has specially important with digital products in this age where the world is going digital.
Nature
I am one of those “Let’s go for a hike” type of person, I love cold weather, dipping my feet on a river and feeling a morning breeze.
Movies
Have you ever watch “The secret life of Walter Mitty”? I love talking about movies, composition, directors, scripts and how impactful a story can be.
Philosophy
I’m a big fan of Marcus Aurelius' “Meditations” so I consider myself a student of stoicism, but most importantly, I believe the way is just to keep learning, acknowledging that we are all just students.
Food
You'll always hear me say "Let's get something to eat" and my favorite thing to do is go out for breakfast and coffee.
Family
I'm always looking forward to hangout with my family, my partner and my dog, I will bring him wherever I can.
