Profile: https://flows.cv/emilianozapata

I’m a Senior Product Designer and Interaction Designer based in NYC focused on turning complex, workflow-heavy experiences into clear, usable product interactions.

I specialize in translating ambiguous business and technical requirements into interaction models for multi-step flows, data-dense interfaces, configurator journeys, dashboards, and internal tools across desktop and mobile.

My approach combines systems thinking, rapid prototyping, accessibility, and close collaboration with product and engineering to move teams from ambiguity to alignment and execution. I lead through UX-led processes: design sprints, structured critiques, stakeholder workshops, and close collaboration with product and engineering.

I’ve worked across startup and enterprise environments in healthcare, fintech, e-commerce, media, and operationally complex products.
