I'm Emiliano — a product designer for the parts of software people avoid.
I'm an interaction designer based in New York with five-plus years shaping workflow-heavy product experiences from concept through launch — including zero-to-one product definition. The surfaces I gravitate toward are the ones most designers quietly skip: configurators, quote engines, dashboards, internal tools, onboarding for complicated products.
I translate ambiguous business and technical requirements into clear interaction models for multi-step flows and data-dense interfaces. Defaults that mean something. Systems that scale beyond the first screen. Accessibility and precise spec delivery as a baseline, not an afterthought.
What I'm looking for: a senior product design seat inside a team I can stay with — close to engineering, close to users, over years not sprints. Not freelance, not agency, not contract.

What I'm not.
I'm not an agency or a studio. I work as one person on one team.
I'm not a freelancer. Short engagements rarely move complex workflows.
I'm not a visual stylist. The look is in service of the decision being made.
I'm not interested in pretending the problem is simpler than it is.
