Juan Muñoz
Senior UX/UI Designer & Accessibility Champion
Two decades of turning complex problems into simple, beautiful solutions. I don't just design interfaces—I craft experiences that work for everyone, everywhere. When accessibility meets innovation, magic happens.
Currently championing responsible companion animal adoption through compelling visual storytelling via Somos Manada (@somosmanada.co). Proud dad to Pretzel (Border Collie), Potter (rescued Collie), and foster dad to Milhoja (rescued puppy). Every rescue story deserves to be told with the same care I bring to every design challenge.
Global perspective shaped by travels across 23+ countries, bringing cultural insights and diverse user understanding to every project. Passionate about editorial design and collecting stories that fuel creative innovation.
About Me
With over two decades of design experience and 8+ years in UX/UI, I craft accessible, beautiful experiences that deliver user satisfaction and business growth. My approach champions inclusive design that empowers every user while meeting strategic goals.
Expertise in design systems, WCAG AAA compliance, data visualization, and interactive storytelling. Fluent in English, French, and Spanish, I’ve collaborated across the USA, Canada, Latin America, and Europe, understanding how cultural nuances shape design.
Beyond work, I’m a foster dad and animal welfare advocate, promoting responsible companion animal adoption through Somos Manada (@somosmanada.co). Proud dad to Pretzel, Potter, and foster pup Milhoja—every rescue story deserves the same care as a design challenge.
Travels to 23+ countries have shaped my global perspective and cultural insights. From Bogotá’s vibrant energy to creative hubs worldwide, I bring creative innovation and user understanding to every project.
