Hi, I’m Carlos Salguero, a product designer in Toronto focused on complex enterprise systems. I connect product strategy, interaction logic, design systems, engineering constraints, and implementation so teams can move from ambiguity to decisions they can ship.
I work across workflows, permissions, business rules, responsive states, accessibility, and reusable patterns. I prototype early, make edge cases explicit, and stay close to product and engineering through delivery.
AI is part of how I research, synthesize, explore, prototype, document, and automate repetitive work. I use it to accelerate the thinking loop while keeping product judgment, accountability, and craft human-led.
Originally from Colombia and based in Toronto, I bring curiosity, storytelling, and a systems mindset to work across telecommunications, logistics, banking, and other complex domains.
I turn complex workflows, rules, and role models into coherent product systems, from discovery and prototyping through detailed interaction states and delivery.
I help teams make and communicate difficult product decisions through critique, facilitation, trade-off framing, and close collaboration with product and engineering.
I connect components, interaction patterns, accessibility, documentation, and implementation constraints so reusable systems support real product behaviour.
I use front-end fundamentals, Webflow, GitHub, and implementation-aware prototyping to reduce the gap between design intent and what ships.
I map workflows, roles, constraints, edge cases, and business rules before committing to interface solutions. AI-assisted synthesis helps organize evidence, challenge assumptions, and expose gaps early.
I move from flows into interaction models, reusable components, responsive states, accessibility behaviour, and detailed prototypes. The goal is a product model that can scale, not just a polished screen.
I use implementation-aware prototypes and hands-on front-end work to test behaviour before it becomes expensive to change. For selected projects, I work directly in Webflow and code.
I stay close to product and engineering through reviews, feasibility discussions, handoff, QA, and iteration so design intent survives implementation.
The best designer–developer collaboration is not a cleaner handoff. It is shared ownership of product behaviour, technical constraints, design-system decisions, accessibility, and the messy edge cases that determine whether an experience survives implementation.
READ POSTUX is shifting from screens toward intelligent systems, behaviour, rules, and outcomes. As agents become less visible and design systems become machine-readable infrastructure, designers increasingly define autonomy, trust, accessibility, permissions, and the boundaries within which experiences can adapt.
READ POSTCarlos's design skills are second to none. He gives and takes insightful design critiques and has tackled extremely complex design problems in our enterprise software, making the user journeys simple and a joy to use, with beautiful designs, pixel perfect attention to detail and exemplary documentation.
I worked with Carlos supporting TELUS agent desktop design. I always paused to hear his feedback as his insight is almost on-point. If it's not a comment to an eventual solution, it's insight to rethink the proposed design.
Carlos was absolutely amazing to work with. He was able to easily communicate complex development concepts to us and execute them without any issues. On top of that, he is very personable and easy to talk to.
Thank you so much for your hard work, creativity, and positive energy. It was a pleasure working with you. He's genuinely passionate about using user experience to get the best results.
