About Xavi

👋 Hi, I'm Xavi
Web / App & UX/UI Designer with a strategic, iterative, and data-driven approach.

Looking for someone who not only designs beautiful screens but also understands the business, people, and how to turn ideas into real, functional products? 💡📱

🚀 Product Design for Growing Startups:

I've worked with startups like Privalia, Docplanner, Colvin, and Signaturit, supporting their evolution from early stages to becoming high-revenue companies. This experience has taught me to design with agility, scale products, and make decisions that directly impact the business.


🎯 Design with Purpose. Design with Data.
I don't design based on intuition or personal taste. I create useful, accessible, and memorable experiences based on:

- Real user insights
- Business objectives
- Metrics that matter


🧪 Constant Iteration, Tangible Impact
I work hand-in-hand with product teams to:

- Design from scratch or improve existing products
- Create accessible, scalable, and well-documented Design Systems in Figma
- Optimize pages and flows to increase conversion 🛒📈
- Develop MVPs and interactive prototypes for validation with real users


🧠 Solid Background in UX + Design Systems

My UX training and experience allow me to tackle challenges from the root: understanding the user, mapping their needs, and designing solutions that truly work.
Additionally, I have extensive experience in creating and maintaining design systems in Figma, collaborating closely with development to ensure consistency, efficiency, and scalability in digital products.

🔍 360º Vision of Digital Design

From research and UX flows to the final UI and its front-end implementation (React, WordPress…), I get involved in every phase to ensure that what we design not only looks good but truly solves problems and adds value.

🤝 If you believe that designing is about making decisions, perhaps we can work together.
