About Veronica Rios

Head of Product Design · AI-native design & design-to-code at PrestaShop

Design and code used to live in two separate worlds. AI is closing that gap fast, and most designers don't know where to start. That's a big part of what I help with.

I'm a product design leader with over a decade across design and research. AI is now part of how I work every day: I prototype and build directly with Claude Code, going from an idea to a working product without the usual design-to-dev handoff.

🎯 What I can help you with:

🤖 AI design-to-code & AI-native workflows Prototyping and building interfaces directly with AI (Claude Code) From idea to working product without waiting on dev Prompting for designers to get usable results, not noise

🧭 Product Design & UX From discovery to delivery, turning research into product decisions

🔍 Discovery & Research Research systems, structuring insights, frameworks like the Opportunity Solution Tree

🚀 Career & Design Leadership Portfolios, CVs and interviews, growing into senior and leadership roles

I learn in public and share what I actually do, including the messy parts.

🇫🇷🇪🇸 Je mentore en français et en espagnol. Design-to-code, workflows AI, discovery ou carrière design : on peut le faire dans ta langue.
