Hello, I'm
Martin Tejeda

Hey, I’m Martin. I’m a product designer with over 5 years of experience building digital products at early-stage startups and fast-growing tech companies.

I like to understand the big picture, but I’m also hands-on with the details. I’ve led design strategy, built design systems, mentored teammates, and worked closely with research to ship thoughtful, useful experiences. I care a lot about making products that are intuitive, accessible, and genuinely helpful.

Lately, I’ve been especially focused on healthcare, wellness, and education. I’m drawn to products that solve meaningful problems and improve people’s lives.

Outside of work, I’m usually hiking, reading nonfiction, or learning something new just for fun.

If any of this resonates, feel free to reach out šŸ‘‹

How I work

Every project is different, but this is the general flow I follow to go from idea to impact.

1. Understand

Before jumping into solutions, I take time to deeply understand the problem space — who we’re designing for, what they need, and why it matters.

2. Research

I gather insights through qualitative and quantitative methods (user interviews, competitive analysis, and stakeholder input).

3. Wireframes

I translate ideas into low-fidelity wireframes to explore layout, flow, and functionality quickly, and get alignment early in the process.

4. User Testing

I validate designs with real users to uncover friction points, test assumptions, and iterate based on direct feedback.

5. UIĀ Refinement

Once the foundation is strong, I focus on interaction details, visual polish, and accessibility — ensuring everything feels intuitive and cohesive.

6. Code Implementation

I work closely with engineers to bring designs to life, bridging the gap between mockups and final product while keeping an eye on quality and intent.
