About me

Before I became a Product Designer, I started my career redesigning oil pipeline systems at Venezuela’s largest oil company using SolidWorks and AutoCAD. Later, I worked as a high school math teacher, where I earned certification as a learning specialist for students with learning disabilities. That experience taught me that accessibility isn’t optional, it’s essential. This perspective continues to shape and guide my design work today.

With over 10 years of experience in product design and education, I’ve partnered with companies like College Board, WEX, and Kraft Heinz to create digital experiences that are intuitive, impactful, and scalable.

I see design as a tool for learning. Every product is an opportunity to make knowledge more accessible while creating experiences that are not only inspiring, but also pleasant and fun to use.

Ask me about philosophy, volleyball or funny cat videos.

When I’m Not Designing…

When I’m not deep in design work, I’m usually covered in hay, giving belly rubs to pigs or helping out at animal sanctuaries. It’s my favorite way to recharge and give back.

Hello Marcos,

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for Simon's outstanding efforts in the Figma design work on our school timelines for the 2021 immersive program. Especially considering his newness on the team, he has done a tremendous job. Simon consistently produces high-quality designs promptly and is a pleasure to work with. His work has been instrumental in advancing several user stories that might have faced difficulties otherwise. Simon's diligence and experience are much appreciated!
