Nice to
meet you

I'm Carlos. I’m a multi-disciplinary designer with a focus on building digital products. I have over 15 years of professional design experience working with small scale startups as well large and small companies from varying backgrounds.

When I’m not thinking about design or building things, you can find me in my home studio or on a stage somewhere  making and performing music as Navigateur or When Tides Collide. I’ve released a few albums that you can find on major streaming platforms and I’ve performed with amazing artists like Tycho, Beacon, Unwed Sailor, and more.

I’m also the founder of Horchata Club, a side-hustle of mine turned collective, where myself and like-minded design  technologists come together to build experiments and offer design consultation to startups, agencies, and large orgs.

Lately, I've been spending a lot of my time getting better acquainted with AI, and learning how to build more immersive content in the web using 3D tools like Spline, Three JS, and Blender.
