Get to know me better!

I’m Jonathan Orlando, a Senior Digital Product Design Specialist with extensive experience in UX/UI consulting and design leadership for international IT firms.

I have worked as a Senior UX/UI Design Consultant and Lead Designer for companies like Accenture Mexico (North America Division) and Alithya Canada Inc, contributing to high-impact projects across North America.
‍
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with major clients, including Caterpillar US, where I played a key role in the Unified Global Digital Experience, a B2B platform connecting suppliers. My performance and measurable improvements in the project led to a promotion to Lead UX/UI Specialist in 2021-2022.

I also worked with Videotron Canada, a leading telecom provider in Quebec, in a French-speaking UX/UI Specialist role, 2023-2025.

Additionally, I have helped startups streamline digital product processes and develop comprehensive Design Systems, such as my work with Sniffspot App, an Airbnb-like platform for dog-friendly spaces in the US.
‍
My academic background includes a Master’s Degree in Design, (MDes) (Graphic Design) from Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Mexico along with specialized studies in Interaction Design at Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain.

My passion for UX/UI extends beyond industry work— I have been a Professor and Academic Mentor since 2021, teaching at top tech academies like Coderhouse (LATAM’s largest online IT academy) and CareerFoundry (a global leader in UX/UI education).

Always seeking to growth

🌍 Since 2022, I have been based in Montreal, Canada, working in multicultural teams across diverse industries. 🗣 I am fluent in Spanish, English, and French, which has allowed me to take on international roles in UX/UI design.

Currently, I am working on my first self-published book:

‍📖 “Fundamentals on Graphic User Interface Elements”, an academic guide for beginners in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).

Making the complex, simple, through innovation

As an experienced Senior Digital Product Designer and UX/UI Consultant, I believe that the key to a successful solution lies in deeply understanding the project’s needs, strategically planning the outcomes, and ensuring continuous refinement.
