Profile: https://flows.cv/ramiro

Design leader with a deep product and brand background. I’ve built and launched products from scratch at Alchemy, Rupa Health (acq. by Fullscript), Hilo, and Nvolv, and shaped new initiatives with Google, MasterClass, Toyota, and DirecTV.

Currently Head of Design at Alchemy. Joined early and helped scale the company from seed to $10B+, leading design across product, brand, and GTM while building and growing the team.

Relentless about craft, velocity, and assembling high-trust, ego-free teams. Passionate about raising the bar for design in fast-moving industries.
