"I was lucky enough to work with José in two different companies in the Design Team. We first worked together at Blip. I highlight his way of thinking when working out some complex features and his confidence when dealing with stakeholders. When then I moved to Rows, José was leading the team. His creative mind and high sense of detail stand out most. José always delivered crisp, clean and well-though solutions. He always brings an incredible energy (and sense of humor) and there is no such thing as being bored at work, when working closely with him."

Rebrandly (2017-2018)

While at Rebrandly, I held several roles, but my primary responsibility was as the Lead Product Designer. In this capacity, I oversaw the redesign of our link creation, management, and tracking solution, utilising a modular set of rules and components to create a streamlined user experience. Additionally, I worked closely with development teams, managing their priorities and workflows, performing quality assurance, and validating submissions for production.

"I had the opportunity to work with Jose for around one year and it's still one of the best professional experience I have ever had. What I think it's extremely rare and valuable about Jose - beside being great at building simple yet efficient UIs - it is his great ability to understand technical concerns, engineering principles and edge cases. As a software engineer I think this is typically one of the main pain points when dealing with UI/X designers but with him everything was frictionless: he was super fast in understanding and leveraging engineering feedback to both create new high quality UIs as well as iterating on existing ones. His analytical approach allows him to get into the shoes of business, product and tech mindset and find the best outcome. Last but not the least, he is very humble, kind and professional, which makes it so easy and enjoyable working together."

PaddyPower (2016-2017)

I’ve worked on a technological turnover project for PaddyPower. The goal was to increase consistency of the mobile apps and renew the desktop one with the same visual language.

"To say that Jose is a creative and passionate problem solver is just too easy. His relentless focus on what is right for the customer challenged how we thought about problems that we faced, surfaced new and creative solutions that thought provoked and challenged industry standards - helping us to create a thoughtful and crafted customer experience."

Ooyala (2016)

In 2016, I had the pleasure of spearheading an initiative for Ooyala, where we were tasked with creating a tool that would enable technicians to monitor multiple live events from different enterprise accounts simultaneously. While the challenge appeared straightforward, the solution was far more complex than I initially anticipated. Through the process, I conducted user interviews with technicians and performed several rounds of user testing to validate every detail of the tool's functionality.
