Hey there!

I'm Juan Pablo Tamayo

Product Designer based in Medellín, Colombia, working remotely with teams across the US and LatAm. I've spent the last 18 years designing digital products through consulting engagements — embedded with client teams at Affirm, lululemon, Rappi, COPA Airlines and others.

My Career so far

I'm a Product Designer focused on creating functional, user-centered solutions with a strong foundation in design principles. Having designed for fintech, SaaS platforms, and startups, I move comfortably across different products and platforms, with solid experience collaborating with design system teams — contributing to documentation, consistency, and scalability.Using tools like Figma — supported by Claude Code, Figma Make, and other AI-powered tools — I craft interactive prototypes that let stakeholders experience designs early. My process includes usability testing, platform-specific optimizations, and customer journey mapping to deliver intuitive experiences — always measuring success by how well the solution works for the people using it.Today I'm also strengthening my technical skills to evolve how I design: understanding how products are built, and using AI as part of my daily process to explore, prototype, and validate solutions faster. This is changing how I approach ideation — turning abstract problems into tangible, testable solutions in less time, and helping me communicate with engineers in a more fluent, integrated way.My goal is to design meaningful experiences that connect people with products — blending creativity, strategic thinking, and technology to create products where what ships is what was designed.
