I’m Lucia Bustamante, and I thrive on leading diverse, remote design teams to deliver exceptional digital experiences. My expertise lies in design strategy, UX, and fostering strong collaboration across product and engineering, on a global scale.
With over 10 years of experience working for early-stage startups and tech companies, I bring a strategic vision to life.
I’m currently working in the startup landscape developing voice AI and fintech products. But in a parallel universe? empowering a thriving community of over 1,600 women in tech.
