Crafting User-Centered Digital Experiences with a Creative Edge
Introduction
Get to know me
I’m Mahfud Galdos, a skilled Product Designer with a passion for creating impactful digital solutions that drive user engagement and business growth. My journey began in Peru, where I co-founded and led a creative agency, managing a multidisciplinary team of over 15 professionals. After four years of successfully leading the agency, I transitioned to product design, specializing in UX/UI design for web and mobile applications.
Currently, I have more than three years of experience as a Product Designer at a startup based in San Diego, California, where I focus on delivering user-centered products through end-to-end design processes. Now, I’m seeking new challenges in the startup industry, where I can continue to grow and make a difference.
