I didn't become a designer because I wanted to make things look beautiful.

I became a designer because I've always been fascinated by the way thoughtful design can shape the way people feel, connect, and experience the world around them.

I studied Industrial Design, but early in my career I found myself drawn toward branding, digital experiences, and visual storytelling. Over the past six years, I've worked across branding agencies, startups, and freelance projects, designing everything from brand identities and websites to digital products and presentations.

One of the experiences that shaped me the most was joining Winona, a U.S.-based telehealth company focused on women's health during menopause. Working closely with the product and web design team introduced me to Figma, product thinking, and the collaborative rhythm of a remote-first environment. It was my first experience designing at the intersection of technology and healthcare, and it showed me how design can directly improve people's lives.

Later, I joined a Mon Palette creative agency in Mexico to better understand the local market before making one of the biggest decisions of my life.

I packed a backpack and spent eight months traveling solo through Southeast Asia, India and Nepal.

What began as a trip quickly became something much deeper.

Between long train rides, meditation retreats, conversations with strangers, and countless moments of reflection, I found myself asking a different question. Not "What kind of designer do I want to become?" but "What kind of impact do I want my work to have?"

The answer became surprisingly clear.

I wanted to dedicate my career to creating things that genuinely support people's wellbeing.

When I returned to Mexico, I began guiding meditation experiences, became a certified yoga teacher, created guided meditations on Spotify, and built a community around mindfulness, movement, music, and human connection. Throughout that journey, I continued working as a designer, but something had shifted.

I realized I wasn't choosing between design and wellness.

I was trying to find the place where they naturally belong together.

More recently, after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, that purpose became even more personal. Living with a chronic condition made me experience firsthand how design influences not only functionality, but confidence, identity, and emotional wellbeing. That experience inspired me to begin developing a jewelry brand for continuous glucose monitors—a project currently in development that explores how thoughtful design can help people feel proud of something they often feel the need to hide.

Looking back, every step of my journey has been leading toward the same place.

Today, I'm not simply looking for my next design role.

I'm looking for a team whose mission I genuinely believe in.

A place where I can continue growing alongside talented people, contribute both my design expertise and my passion for wellbeing, and challenge myself in ways that aren't possible alone.

I've always enjoyed working collaboratively. I love exchanging ideas, learning from others, building meaningful relationships, and creating alongside people who care deeply about what they do. Some of my best work has come from those moments of shared creativity, and I'm excited to be part of that kind of environment again.

When I recently saw Calm's collaboration with Omnipod, it immediately caught my attention. As someone living with Type 1 Diabetes, I understood exactly why that partnership mattered. I found myself wanting to reach out simply to say how meaningful I thought it was. While looking for the right way to contact the team, I came across the Partnerships Designer role.

It felt like one of those rare moments where everything suddenly made sense.

Because after everything I've experienced, I've realized that the work I want to do is simple:

I want to use design to help people live healthier, calmer, and more connected lives.
