Juan Manuel Cornejo — GUI Designer
I make complex systems feel simple. Whether it's enterprise platforms, AI workflows, industrial automation, or human rights technology — I design the interfaces where high-stakes decisions happen.
22 years in digital design — table-based layouts, IE5/IE6 conditional stylesheets, Photoshop slice exports, Macromedia Fireworks, Flash ActionScript, Dreamweaver, WordPress theme development. I enjoyed every era and evolved through each one: the responsive web, mobile-first, and now AI-enhanced workflows. I've shipped design systems, product redesigns, brand identities, and end-to-end digital experiences across six countries.
I've led design sprints and workshops in the US, Chile, Brazil, Ecuador, France, and Spain — facilitating cross-functional teams through discovery, ideation, and delivery. I bridge design and engineering, prototyping in Figma, building and shipping. Four languages, one focus: making powerful tools usable.
Beyond the Screen

When I'm not designing, you'll find me exploring with my camera, getting lost in Latin American literature, or writing about my experiences. On weekends, find me at El Encanto, jardín de vinos (link).
