04 · About
Hey, I'm Diego.
Seventeen years ago I started designing products. Somewhere along the way, they started getting funding, exits, and being used by millions of users.
I always work with Sara Bazan, my senior designer and right hand that has been working with me for the past 7 years. Together we've helped founders raise $60M, exit for $44M, designed the internal SaaS of a $25B Fortune 500, and shipped products to 12M+ users.
Today I split my time between getting startups from idea to product-market fit and unsticking the KPIs of products that stopped growing as planned.
Off the clock, you'll catch me perfecting an aquascape, hunting rare Belgian beers on local markets, dreaming about an off-grid self-sufficient living, playing crazily complex video games, or losing at board games to my five-year-old daughter.
