About

Full-stack Product Designer

Jessica Guadarrama

I'm a full-stack product designer who turns complex workflows into clarity and momentum. I focus on reducing cognitive load, building trust, and helping teams do their best work, whether at mission-driven organizations or operationally complex SaaS companies.

What's flor de nopal?

Flor de nopal — the cactus flower — thrives where others cannot, bringing unexpected beauty to harsh landscapes. Like these resilient blooms, my design practice adapts to challenging constraints while creating work that stands out. The name represents my approach: resourceful, distinctive, and authentically rooted in my heritage.
