Product Manager at
HUTS Living
2022 – Current
Working with HUTS has provided me with valuable insights into the real estate market and the pivotal role architecture firms play in rectifying the fragmented process from design to construction.
Here, I’m in charge of sprucing up HUTS’ marketing website! I do not only oversee the design and implementation but also cooked up a slick design system. The result? Landing pages that pop up in a cool 2 hours instead of a whole week!
eCommerce
At HUTS, I got my reps in for the eComm industry setting up their ADU buying process and took charge of building the online store.
Subscription-based Service
I led the production and launch of LAND.NYC, HUTS’ subscription- based service. I spearheaded the design, implementation and helped craft the marketing tech stack.
Project Management
Lead at Mayday
2016 – 2022
I worked with Mayday for over 6 years on all sorts of projects of different natures; from brand development, to complex FinTech Products. We assisted startups in preparing for series funding, kept growth-stage businesses relevant, and guided established businesses in prioritizing new initiatives.
This has been one of the most nurturing and professionally expanding experiences I’ve had. Here I did brand development, design, marketing strategies, content generation, user experience research, customer experience design, video production, product & web development, and interactive experiences. Working here was never boring!
Some of the projects that I led
-
Caroogo (Automotive)
PRODUCT MANAGER (2018 - 2022)
Caroogo came to us to reimagine the car buying experience. Born out of an existing dealership network, Caroogo engaged Mayday to design and build a digital-only end-to-end purchase sequence that would replace lots and sales people with personalized online buying and home delivery.
-
Corporate Spending Innovations (FinTech)
PRODUCT MANAGER (2020 - 2021)
This high-growth B2B fintech company is used by thousands of corporate clients globally to issue vendor bill payments with virtual cards. They asked Mayday to design and build a new dashboard experience that visualizes payment data and offers guidance on how best to optimize vendor management.

Marriott (Hospitality)
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER (2016 - 2017)
Marriott partnered up with Mayday to define the brand architecture for Marriott’s groundbreaking experientially-driven sub brand, The Autograph Collection. We worked on a series of websites and collateral for their properties and video production for the Marriott Marquee in Times Square.

Freelance Work
Some of the most remarkable freelance work I’ve done in recent years includes my partnership with HEBS Digital (Now Cendyn). I partnered with them to design and deliver marketing websites for top clients in the hospitality industry, handling projects worth over $1.5 million. Here I established production sequences for user experience exploration, information architecture definition, design and full-stack implementation, setting the groundwork for a new version of their own CMS product.
Check some of those projects below!
Viceroy Hotels & Resorts
Working with Viceroy was exciting from the beginning. They had just gotten a brand facelift, and I got to be the first to play with their new brand DNA. The challenge was to turn their luxury vibes into a visually stunning and tasteful user experience. We also pushed the functionalities of HEBS’ own CMS and whipped up a great way to handle their whole property empire within the system, all snug under the umbrella of that shiny new brand.
Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos
How many times do you get the chance to work with some of the most famous brands in the world?
I got the chance to work on the revamping of their complete property management system, on the redesign of the interface of their loyalty program, and the management of their calendar of events. I got to see who was going to come to perform before the general public (mic drop).
Passion Projects
Freelo (2022 - Ongoing)
I'm proudly Colombian, and I freelanced there for half of my 15-year project management journey. That's why I decided to pool my Product Management experience and create a payment platform tailored to Colombian freelancers considering the nitty-gritty of local laws and the economy. It's still in the pre-production phase, but it's one of those passion-fueled projects that light my fire.
Your Body Your Story (2023)
Meet Crystal Napolitano. I crossed paths with her in 2019 while studying Improv Comedy in NYC (a bit cliché, right?). She's a trained somatic intimacy and relationship coach on a mission to help folks build more meaningful connections with themselves and those around them. While I'm no somatic expert, her techniques are the real deal. So, I hopped on board as her Marketing Consultant, kicking things off with a spanking new website and setting up a rock-solid marketing foundation.
