About

Hello there! I'm Jaime, Design & Product Leader and Coach.

I have more than 20 years of experience across Europe and the US. I lead design teams, build design systems and own product roadmaps, from a banking app with 30M+ users to a website with 100M+ monthly views.

I bridge design, business and engineering. Over the last five years I've run 200+ live sessions for teams at Google, Disney, Uber, Nintendo and Airbus, and I coach UX/UI designers at SPICED Academy. Through Creixems Studio I also help founders explain their product clearly with a two-session Story Workshop.

I'm pragmatic, optimistic and curious and outside of work I find joy in podcasting, exploring new places, having fun with friends, and building LEGO sets to the sound of 90’s rock.
