Marcos Sanchez, founder of SIUX
I've worked in UX and engineering for more than 15 years: first as a developer, then leading design and front-end teams, and since 2022 through SIUX, my design and product studio.
Before SIUX I spent eight and a half years at Despegar, where I went from UX engineer to senior UX manager and led EVA, the design system 500+ engineers built with.
I work directly on every SIUX project, from the first conversation to the shipped product.
