Clear digital products, built for people

I’m Luis Rodríguez, Head of UX in Innovation and Digital Transformation at Grupo Kaufmann. For 15 years I’ve combined UX, UI, front-end and motion to design products people understand on the first try. Today, AI is part of every step of my process.

Based in Santiago, Chile. Open to talk about product, design and AI.

Today, at Grupo Kaufmann

Head of UX, Innovation and Digital Transformation

Since March 2023, across Chile, Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama.

Together with the Innovation and Digital Transformation lead, I design experiences and we build software for buying, selling and servicing Mercedes-Benz vehicles. We create tools for customers and internal teams that make every step simpler.

  • People firstI start with research to understand customers and teams before designing.
  • From insight to productI turn what we learn into flows and prototypes, then validate and iterate with metrics.
  • Viable and scalableI work closely with engineering, marketing and business, on a shared design system.
  • AI in the processI explore more ideas in less time and help the team adopt AI day to day.
