Portrait of Alberto Garcia.

I'm Alberto Garcia, a Lead UX/Product Designer with over 15 years of experience, based in Los Angeles.

The moments that matter

I’ve been leading design from discovery through delivery in organizations where the stakes are high and the timelines are real.

I’ve been leading design from discovery through delivery in organizations where the stakes are high and the timelines are real.

I've managed designers, governed design systems, and built cross-functional trust with product, engineering, and legal stakeholders who needed to see the tradeoffs clearly before they could move.

I work in English and Spanish.
