Luis was a valuable asset of the team while we contributed to Abbott's NAVICA program. He used his talent and skills to bring ideas to life through design. Luis has a solid understanding of User Experience and UI Design. He is able to work well in a fast paced environment and is a quick learner. Luis is a team player and he always carries himself in a professional manner.

I worked with Luis as part of Abbott's NAVICA program. Luis was instrumental in bringing to shape several innovative design ideas within the NAVICA Consumer App. He comes with a very strong design background, knowledge of the design toolset, and sound thought process that helped drive design workshops with engineering, product management, reach consensus and deliver several high, low fidelity prototypes. Always a great asset to have in a product team.
