Pochi García Orsi

I design digital experiences, draw, and sing (I can also create ceramic sculptures, make multi-color prints, engrave wood or metal, and shoot both digital and analog photography). I have been designing digital experiences for 10 years in the fields of fintech, health-tech, and e-commerce. My goal is to transform complexity into clarity. I employ a hands-on 'Research-to-Design' workflow, incorporating AI-powered tools for technical scaffolding and rapid prototyping. This approach helps us reach users faster.
