About Rafael Medina
Hi, I’m Rafael.
I’ve spent the last ten years designing products, mostly the complicated parts people prefer not to think about. I figure out what to build, test it with real people, and stay for the fixes after launch.
I prototype in code. A working interaction answers questions faster than a static mockup, and usually faster than a meeting.
When I’m not working, I’m probably kickboxing, swimming, riding a bike, or being humbled by salsa and jiu jitsu.
- 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.
