About
I design products and help build them.
I'm Clemente, a product designer from Santiago, Chile. I'm moving to Australia in 2027 and looking for a team that ships often and cares about the people using the product.
Story
I studied Digital Interaction Design at Universidad del Desarrollo, with a semester at L'École de Design Nantes Atlantique in France. While studying I started working on real products: first designing Pets-Okey's website and app, then co-founding Vex, a second-hand fashion marketplace that won first place at Incuba TEC.
At EdBinder, a platform that places bilingual Latin American teachers in US schools, I was the only designer for most of a year and designed an AI-assisted CV tool that cut incomplete profiles from 8 in 10 to 2 in 10. Today I'm Head of Design at TurboShop, where I lead two designers and built the frontend of Fórmula, the workshop management platform mechanics use every day.
Along the way I started building my own products with AI coding tools, for two reasons. The first is to improve my own design workflow. I built Reviewww, a Chrome extension for reviewing interfaces with comments linked to each element, to make design reviews faster, and my team at TurboShop now uses it.
The second is to find my limits. With Lapsy I set out to design, build and publish a mobile app on my own, from the first sketch to the app stores.
Building changed how I design. I think in states, data and edge cases earlier, and I can test ideas on the real product.

How I work
Research where the work happens
I learn the most at the counter, not in a meeting room. Workshop visits, timed tests and daily session reviews in PostHog decide what we change next.
Systems before screens
A shared design system is what lets a small team move fast without losing consistency. At TurboShop it let designers prototype new modules from day one.
Close to the build
I design in Figma and build with React, Next.js and AI coding tools. When design reaches production directly, decisions get tested on the real product.
