Francisco Cardenas
Executive Director, Brand Integration at LERMA/ Agency
"Paolo came in hot! His presence was requested by many agency departments."
"Paolo came to us as a UX/UI lead at a time when LERMA/ was evolving from working with external trusted partners to supporting an in-house ongoing practice. His expertise and energy came in at the right moment and time helping us build numerous digital experiences while establishing workflow best practices. This mindset went beyond the digital department to other areas of the agency including planning, creative, and production."

Designer. Dancer. Storyteller.
From Dallas, Texas, I’m an entrepreneur turned-product designer. When I ran my business, I discovered the joy of designing my employee and customer experiences by listening and problem-solving.
I've had the privilege of designing for SaaS companies, TV shows, and retailers. I'm especially interested in educational, and physical/mental health products.
When I'm not designing or working on my next project, you can find me:
Competing at dance competitions (like in the Olympics!)
Practicing hand balance (one arm handstand next)
Traveling around the world (next stop, Japan)
If you're as passionate about fresh ideas and topics as I am, let's have a chat!
