Hi, I'm Bernardo.

Projects - Profile - Photos - Pre & Post - Resume

I’m a designer, advisor, and mentor with 25 years of professional design experience spanning Miami, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Currently, I am consulting companies that value design and are looking to adopt it into their culture and products.

Most recently, I was a Lead Designer with Gridspace, a speech AI company designing products focused on contact center automation in Los Angeles.

Previously in San Francisco, I was the founding Director of Design at Casetext - acquired by Thomson Reuters. I was also the Creative Director of Humble Bundle - acquired by IGN and a Lead Designer for Hotpads - acquired by Zillow where I redesigned a suite of existing products.

I began my design career in New York as an Art Director for Sports Illustrated magazine and other national publications. Eventually, I transitioned to digital products as a Creative Director for VSA Partners and was a member of IBM’s Design Lab.

Personally, I believe a little design can go a long way. I invite you to browse a few projects, view them in action, and learn about how I think. Outside of design, I love playing music and taking pictures.
