Crafting products that fuel growth

The journey

cool

Engineer turned designer blending logic with creativity

How the story began

I graduated as a Computer Engineer from the University of Computer Sciences (UCI) in Cuba. Although my career path began in software development, my passion for design led me to become a self-taught specialist. Today, I leverage my engineering background to bridge the gap between design and development, ensuring technical feasibility and seamless team collaboration.

My professional growth

Over the last 11 years, I’ve had the opportunity to lead design for high-impact projects. My core strength lies in the intersection of design and engineering; my deep understanding of technical architecture allows me to anticipate development constraints and streamline workflows. This technical fluency ensures that my designs are not only intuitive but also scalable and ready for production, significantly reducing friction with engineering teams.

Beyond the pixels

I am a firm believer that peak performance requires balance. As an avid long-distance runner and cyclist, I find my greatest clarity in the discipline of the road and the stillness after a yoga session with my wife. These moments of reflection under a clear sky are where my best ideas often spark. Endurance sports have taught me that consistency and pragmatism are the true drivers of long-term goals, a mindset I bring to every product I build.

What my peers think

Carlos Manuel Ferrás

Software Engineer at Canva

I know Yuriaski for over 15 years and I keep great memories of us. We were colleagues after uni, and I cannot only say he is a great person but also an excellent professional, talented, creative, proactive, and team player, the best designer I've worked with by far.

Florian Arrow

Yuriaski is a top-tier UX Designer blending analytical depth with Master-level Figma skills. At collect.AI, he built the UX infrastructure from scratch—from SaaS design systems to complex prototypes. He is a self-reliant professional, deeply committed to adaptability and professional evolution.

Karsten Wysk

CEO at Alldone GmbH

Yugui's work is excellent. The time we worked together we achieved a good communication, something vital for the implementation of new features. As a client I can say that I feel fortunate to have shared a team with him during the development of Alldone.app.

Eddy del Valle

CTO at Kaiko Systems GmbH

Yugui is able not just to design nice-looking interfaces, but also break down the needs of the user and design a workflow that fulfil those needs taking into account edge cases without being naive.

Fabian Fussek

CEO at Kaiko Systems GmbH

Bringing Yuriaski to our team was crucial to identify and solve issues from a user experience design point of view. This increased adoption of Kaiko’s product tremendously as an outcome. He was key to improve our critical user flows.
