About Me

Hi, I’m Carlos Salguero—a senior UX & Product Designer with 14+ years of experience building digital products that feel effortless, but are powered by strategy, systems thinking, and empathy.


I design for clarity, accessibility, and scale—crafting intuitive experiences that grow with users and align tightly with business goals. Whether I’m building from scratch, refining a design system, or collaborating with engineers and product teams, I care deeply about how things work, not just how they look.

Over the years, I’ve worked across industries—telecommunications, logistics, fintech, health, education—helping companies large and small move faster, work smarter, and connect more meaningfully with their users.

My roots in Colombia gave me a lifelong love for storytelling and curiosity—two things that continue to shape the way I approach design. I’m fascinated by how people interact with products, and I’m always exploring how interfaces can feel more thoughtful, inclusive, and human.

What I do

I'm deeply engaged with AI, actively experimenting with tools like Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, and custom-built GPTs. I see AI as a powerful partner for enhancing human-centered design—not replacing it.

Senior Product & UX Designer

I design end-to-end experiences that balance usability, performance, and business logic. From wireframes to responsive UIs, every decision is intentional. I specialize in projects that require scale, structure, and longevity—often working with design systems, accessibility standards, and iterative validation through user feedback.

Leadership & Design Ops

I don’t just design screens—I help shape the way design happens. From building systems that support scale to creating processes that empower teams, I focus on aligning people, tools, and goals. I mentor junior designers, facilitate stakeholder alignment, and contribute to cross-functional strategy. Whether it’s running critiques, defining design principles, or refining team workflows, I lead with empathy, clarity, and a bias toward action.

Design Systems Strategist

I’ve built and evolved multiple design systems from scratch, most recently for a logistics platform with 17+ distinct user roles. I bring structure and clarity to complex environments, ensuring consistency while allowing for flexibility and growth.

Front-End Collaborator & Webflow Expert

I bridge the gap between design and development using clean HTML/CSS, JavaScript fundamentals, and tools like Webflow. My goal is always to ship thoughtful, responsive, and fast-loading interfaces—whether I’m hands-on in the code or collaborating with engineers.

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.
