Alberto Samaniego
Product Designer
I’m passionate about building meaningful products that have a real impact.
As a Product Designer with a technical background, I bridge the gap between developers and UX designers.
I love learning everything related to creating great products, from marketing and sales to product management and no-code/low-code development.
A little more about me
I focus on UX strategy, bringing value by aligning user needs with business goals and technical capabilities.
My core values are authenticity, purposefulness, and courage (acting despite fear).

What people say about working with me
Alberto is an incredibly proficient and skilled designer. I've worked with several designers over the years, and Alberto is at the top of the list. I was concerned about the effectiveness of working with a 100% remote designer to understand our business use cases and complexity while delivering simplicity in the design. There was a lot of nuance to account for in the design, and Alberto was up to speed very quickly. He has a keen ability to understand the business outcomes we were trying to achieve and develop clean, effective designs. He synthesized feedback well and iterated quickly on designs. I could not have been happier with Alberto's work, and I look forward to continuing to work with him on future projects.

Working with Alberto was a pleasure when we partnered on a strategic research and design project at United Healthcare. I appreciated how he seamlessly embedded himself on our team by leveraging his diverse skill sets in different scenarios: he led complex prototyping efforts, facilitated executive-level stakeholder conversations, and coached other designers on design process. Alberto brought so much value to our team in a short time - and his curiosity and openness made him a delight to work with.
