About Me

I'm Carlos. A designer who builds things with a purpose.

Over the last 10+ years, I've designed, led, and launched products at the intersection of design, technology, and (recently) climate action.

My journey as a designer goes back to my teenage years, digitizing old graffitis in Photoshop. Without knowing it, a mindset started growing then: find a purpose, learn how to do it.I became a self-taught designer. Spent a couple of years training and nurturing from different experiences: from graphic design, branding and video editing to UX/UI, a splash of frontend development and a lot of doing, doing and doing. I became a jack of all trades, but always looking for making an impact. To meaningfully change.

Since 2022, I've been leading product design at the Open Earth Foundation, developing open-source digital tools to accelerate climate action. In 2025, I became Head of Impact, ensuring our tools contribute to real-world emissions reductions and climate strategy implementation across 50+ cities in Latin America.

I now also have my own project ("Rediseñar"), a space where I keep building tools for citizen and climate action against environmental and social crisis in Argentina. My purpose is to collaborate and constantly to share how design goes beyond definitions, users and aesthetics. It's a powerful tool we have for social change.
