About Sandra Gatica Morales

Lead Product Designer at PatientFi

With over 12 years leading UX and product design across healthcare, fintech, e-commerce, and telecom — and experience working in Chile, Australia, and internationally — I help designers grow from execution-focused contributors into strategic product thinkers.

I've worked as a UX consultant, design lead, and Head of Product Design, so I understand what it takes to operate at every level — from shipping pixels to influencing C-level decisions.

If you work with me, I can help you: → Strengthen your research and turn insights into clear product decisions → Think and communicate design at a business and strategy level → Build design systems that actually work in real, messy teams → Navigate complex stakeholders and cross-functional environments → Define your career direction and take confident next steps → Integrate AI into your product thinking without losing the human-centered core

My goal isn't just to improve your craft — it's to help you build confidence, structure your thinking, and operate at a higher level.

If you're ready to elevate your impact as a designer, let's talk.
