MARÍA DE LOS ÁNGELES L.

I design product systems, not just screens. For the past 3 years I have led design at a SaaS company with 60,000+ users, where I built and still own a 300+ component design system across two products. WHAT I DO - Design systems: build them, audit them, keep them from drifting - 0 to 1 product design for B2B SaaS - Full flows: onboarding, dashboards, settings, empty and error states - Working HTML prototypes instead of static mockups WHAT I HAVE SHIPPED - 300+ components across 700+ screens, spanning two products - Onboarding redesign delivered in 3 days instead of 2 weeks - Marketing pages down from about a week to same day - A full directory redesign on a compressed timeline, with zero screens built outside the design system HOW I WORK Most designers hand you a Figma file. I build real HTML prototypes with AI-assisted tooling, so you can click the thing and test how it actually feels before a developer touches it. That is why my timelines look short. It is not rushing, it is testing earlier. I came into design from QA. That is where the eye for edge cases, error states, and the screens nobody remembers to design comes from. WHO I WORK BEST WITH Seed to Series B B2B SaaS teams. Small teams, no design org, plenty of decisions to make. I work directly with engineers rather than handing off a spec and hoping. I also design and build marketing sites and landing pages, usually for SaaS launches and independent consultants. Same approach: offer and audience first, layout second. Fixed scope, 50% up front, content collected before the build starts. I work in English and Spanish, both fluent. Available for ongoing contracts and scoped projects. Tell me what you are building and where it is stuck, and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right fit.
