About me
Designer by vocation, multidisciplinary by evolution.
Córdoba, Argentina · Working remotely
I'm Francisco Sixto, a UX/UI and product designer with more than 10 years of experience. I design web platforms, SaaS products and interfaces for teams that need what gets designed to be buildable and maintainable.
I trained in graphic and multimedia design, and it still shows in how I work: I care about hierarchy, visual detail and consistency. Over the years I added development with React, Next.js and WordPress, and today I use AI tools to get to testable prototypes faster. I design and I develop: what I design, I build too.

How I work
Problem first
Before opening Figma I need to understand what the business has to achieve and who will use it.
Design to be built
Components named the way your team knows them, complete states and clear specs. If it can't be built, it isn't finished.
Systems before isolated screens
A well-organized design system saves more than any pretty screen.
Test something real
I'd rather have a prototype people can use than a presentation they have to imagine.
AI with judgment
I use it to move faster; the decisions, the review and the responsibility for what I deliver are mine.
Working with others
I've spent years alongside engineering, marketing and business teams, and leading design and front-end teams. Good design also gets negotiated.
