Shereen López

Summary

I design complex software and build the parts that need shipping, which means product decisions don’t get lost between Figma and production. I’ve spent ten years across SaaS, AI and EdTech, with an earlier career in healthcare. I’m strongest where interface decisions need to hold up under scrutiny, especially when trust and credibility matter as much as usability.
