I had the opportunity to work with Felipe on a couple of client facing consultancy engagements - pairing with clients to coach modern software practices while building software together on ambitious / complex products. In both cases Felipe joined part way through the engagement, rapidly became a trusted team member and immediately added value to the team and product.
I especially appreciated Felipe's depth of experience, ability to quickly grasp complex domains and his calm, pragmatic approach - he brought clear design direction to the team and helped steer the products in the right direction.
As a colleague, it was fantastic to work with Felipe and I would welcome the chance to do so again.
Isabelle Berner
Felipe was instrumental in helping us to develop our design practice at Def Method (an agile software development consultancy). He helped us to hire great talent and set a high bar for what a quality and effective product design looks like. In managing Felipe, I particularly appreciated his candor and ability to identify and solve for important opportunities in our business. He is also highly receptive to feedback and brings the highest degree of humility and curiosity to his work. He is a delight to work with and our clients were extremely happy with his design work and overall impact in their organization.
Wesley Siu
Felipe and I worked on a number of key mobile initiatives during his time at SAP Concur. He was instrumental in driving the projects and making sure proper UI and UX were taken into consideration on product interactions. In addition, he set up a process to manage and support UI/UX requests from 3 mobile teams to ensure transparency and accountability.
His deep understanding and knowledge on design and user experience contributed greatly to the continual success of our mobile apps. Being one of the best designers that I have worked with, he is both approachable and easy to work with.

Robert Sosin
Felipe is a phenomenally talented and knowledgeable designer who passed on so many points of insight and wisdom during our time together. His designs are sharp and clean and he has a great mind for problem-solving, but I think what he’s truly great at is soft skill building and developing a team with meticulous attention to detail and structure. I’m still using tricks he taught me around customer interviews and the definition process. Felipe is also fantastic about radical candor, he’s very open and honest and unafraid to tell you when you’re going down the wrong path, which is an extraordinarily important resource to have. He was a wonderful presence on our team and I recommend him highly.
Kevin Olsen
Having Felipe on my team was a huge help in starting our evolution toward adopting UX and Lean product processes. I credit him with delivering our first user research-led improvements to our product and leading our first multi-disciplinary team discovery efforts. He is a capable and thoughtful design leader, and I valued his perspective and input throughout his time with us at OpenSC.
Steven Moyes
Felipe made guest appearances on our team and was super helpful and insightful during his brief time with us. Having connected with him on LinkedIn I’ve enjoyed his journey and I really value his outlook on life. He lives the mantra of Be Kind. I’d love to work again with Felipe in the future should our paths cross.
David Kendall
Felipe is in a league of his own. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on multiple projects where his experience, talent, wisdom, and personality were central drivers of the quality of our work. He’s a true embodiment of agile principles and knows how to attract his teams attention and energy to the problems and outcomes that matter. I will bring forward what I’ve learned from him and look forward to the opportunity for us to collaborate again.
Alejandro Cruz
I had the opportunity to work with Felipe on the Digital Transformation project of Cemex. From day 1 he showed full commitment to the project, not only engaging with the team but displaying a high level of professionalism in his designs, work and ethics.
He is a valuable individual who has both an entrepreneurial mindset and corporate vision. He helped the design team to evolve, think out of the box and challenge the status-quo. Also, he was aware of the changing business needs of the project, navigating through change in an effective way. I highly recommend him for his vision, passion, work ethics and commitment.
Vitor Kneipp
Felipe and I worked together on a high stakes project in a large client. Felipe joined when the discovery groundwork was done but the level of ambiguity still challenged us, as our design sprints took longer than expected. Felipe ramp up super quickly in the project, organised our Figma workspace and helped make the design sprints feel so much simpler. As a product manager, there were less pressure on me from stakeholders, velocity recovered and team morale went up. Working with Felipe was an extremely positive experience, which I recommend for any product team.
Shani Abada
Felipe is extremely user-focused in his designs. He is thoughtful about each detail and able to explain his design decisions. He is a supportive co-worker who takes the time to connect with people and work through what the team needs. I'm grateful to have had the chance to work closely with him and hope to get another opportunity to do so!

Froso Ellina
I hired Felipe last year and It's been a pleasure to work with him at Pivotal Labs and see him developing his skills over that time. Since joining the team, Felipe has worked in various challenging engagements including product delivery and client enablement. Felipe always provided support to the team by jumping in on a few projects and offer design help to engineers and PM colleagues. He was also actively involved in hiring team members which was a great support for me personally. I would definitely recommend Felipe as he could be a great asset for a design and cross-functional team.
