About Rafael Medina
Hi, I’m Rafael.
I’ve been designing products for over ten years, mostly the unglamorous parts. Working out what to build, drawing it, putting it in front of people, then sticking around for the long tail of fixes after launch.
I build my prototypes in code. Something you can click answers questions a static mockup can’t, and it settles an argument faster than a meeting does.
Outside of work I’m usually moving, and I pick up something new every year. Right now that’s salsa and jiu jitsu, both of which I am comfortably bad at.
- Kickboxing
- Mountain biking
- Lap swimming
- Hiking
- Salsa (learning)
- Jiu jitsu (learning)
- Now
- Freelance, splitting time between Punta Cana and NYC.
- Lately
- Prototypes, AI tooling, and design systems.
I’m taking on new work at the moment. If you’re building something, send me an email.
